Zathkira

 was a lich that inhabited the Plumgroves near Feolinn. As an NPC, was played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
As a lich, Zathkira was a horror to look upon, he had long bony fingers, pale corpse like skin that was torn in places, and a thin pale face with clouded over yellow eyes. He wore a long black and red hooded robe with long billowing sleeves.

Background
Prior to his encounter with Capo, Zathkira had been an evil mage who tried to corrupt the Crimson Sphere of Generosity. In his pursuit of this goal, he would lure tourists to the Plumgroves into his underground lair, either to kill them or to turn them into his servants. He was ultimately defeated by the hero Shiona, who wielded the Exalting Blade of Favor, but who disappeared after defeating Zathkira.
