Phenrig was Sareth's master and trainer, and appears in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. He always knew who Sareth really is, and he actually helped him fulfil his destiny.
Biography[]
In the game, he was first seen with Sareth in an old Shantiri Temple. He instructed Sareth to obtain the Shantiri Crystal, and in order to do that, obtain a Spider Key. His voice guided Sareth through the temple. Home, Master Phenrig told Sareth to go to the city of Stonehelm to find the wizard Lord Menelag and deliver him the crystal, and, if he accepts, to go with him on the trip to the Island of the Spider to retrieve the Skull of Shadows. To aid Sareth on his adventure, he summoned Xana and bound her to him.
Phenrig appears in a vision of Sareth at one point. In this version of events, Phenrig again tells Sareth about his following adventure, but using different words. Frequently, Sareth sees a strange red light. This vision reveals that Phenrig used some sort of perception filter when speaking with Sareth, making him appear more caring and considerate than the vision reveals him to be. When Phenrig summons Xana in the vision, Sareth realizes that Xana is a succubus; she writes this memory off as a "Necromancer's Curse", however, and their journey continues.
Phenrig is last seen in yet another vision, as Sareth claims the Skull of Shadows at the Altar of the Spider Goddess. In it, Phenrig is momentarily seen, among two other slain wizards, forcing Sareth to kneel at the prison where Sareth's father remains chained. Phenrig's ultimate fate however remains unknown.
