Merun The Butcher

*Unintelligible roaring*

Merun the Butcher spent years kidnapping and murdering children. He moved from town to town throughout the Midlands until Nyla'thria was hired to hunt him down. She was unable to capture him and he escaped.

Years later, they met again in a blood-soaked ritualistic tunnel under Alta. Merun has lost even more of what little humanity he possessed. His arms are now made of stone and he appears impervious to magic. He would have killed Nyla'thria in a single blow if Naziri had not taken the damage dealt herself. The Stanchions have not seen Merun again since then but Nyla'thria feels tremendous guilt, seeing every evil deed he has done since she failed to capture him as something she could have prevented. She has vowed to find a way to kill him.

It is unclear at this time what role Merun plays in Redtail's plans, other than that he seems heavily involved with experiments on and sacrifices of children in the name of dark arts.
