Lord Agbeth is a Dark Elven Warlock who acted as the defender of Malassa's sanctuaries in the ages following his race's pact with the Faceless and their subsequent exile underground after the Day of the Tears of Fire. He is introduced in Tribes of the East.
Biography
Agbeth is a child of a cruel people living during a violent time. Sundered from their Sylvan brothers and driven underground, he has been caught up in the Dark Elves' war against the Dwarves. Agbeth is not one to be troubled by fear, however; even among his Machiavellian people Agbeth has a reputation for cold, ruthless efficiency.OffBck
Tribes of the East
Formidable among even his own ruthless kin, Agbeth developed a reputation for insurpassable efficiency prior to his clash with the Dwarves. In a conflict which appears to have precipitated the War under the Mountains, Agbeth led the offensive against Hangvul along with his subordinate, Rangathal, after the wanton desecration of Malassa's altars during mining expansions. Hangvul and his underlings had stolen tomes on Shadowsteel and shadow wisdom, and Agbeth later repaid their leader in kind.
Reaching a truce with the Demon Lord Alastor by recovering a Tome of Destruction Magic, Agbeth ravaged the Dwarven Fortresses in the caverns. He captured Hangvul, exacting vengeance for the theft of Malassa's two sacred gifts - ordering Hangvul's left eye and arm removed as punishment. Agbeth decreed that his foe was to toil as a slave, to "mend the damage done". Though Hangvul came to escape custody within less than a decade, Agbeth's fate afterward is not detailed.
Trial by Fire
In Trial by Fire, Agbeth was the last enemy of the dwarves. Hathor defeated him and took his head as a gift for Hangvul. When Agbeth died, the War under the Mountains was finished.
