Leiland

Kraz-Thun the Umbra Knight leads the Vinguri and is called the King of the Pactwraiths BK E1·00:25:51. He wields Griefmaker, the Runeblade of Sorrow, and glides several inches above the ground BK E1·00:25:51 BK E1·00:27:19. The other Vinguri call him Leiland BK E1·00:28:28. He is proud of wounding a halfling's shoulder and draws pictures as keepsakes BK E1·00:28:28 BK E1·00:31:15.

Leiland and Kraz-Thun are one character, a given name and a title: the other Vinguri call him Leiland, while Zaul'Nazh chose the name Kraz-Thun for him BK E1·00:28:28 BK E1·01:28:17. He leads the Vinguri and keeps news of the halfling Hork from the Lord of Shadows BK E1·00:25:51 BK E1·01:16:08. After Zaul'Nazh is destroyed he collapses in guilt for failing to find the crown and realises that Zaul'Nazh still lives within him BK E1·01:44:36 BK E1·01:47:05.

In the volcano forge he spikes the pain in Drova's shoulder, casts Circle of Death and is beaten in a duel with Galfast Hamhead BK E2·00:17:12 BK E2·00:17:52 BK E2·00:58:20. He then summons the Vinguri, lies to them, and stabs Declan by surprise with a rune blade, after which the party kills him BK E3·00:19:27 BK E3·00:25:44 BK E3·00:29:09. He tells Markus that he was sixth in line for the Silver Coast and murdered his family at the behest of the Lord of Shadows BK E3·01:25:32 BK E3·01:26:33.

In the airship battle he casts Cone of Cold, falls overboard on a failed Dexterity save and is caught by Anne's chain BK E4·00:37:00 BK E4·00:38:00 BK E4·00:39:24. He later chains onto the zeppelin and duels Olag BK E4·01:18:23 BK E4·02:32:08. After the fall he confirms to Miles that he killed Declan BK E5·00:25:32. He drops to negative 8 hit points and is revived by Sokhbarr's potion BK E5·00:29:51 BK E5·00:35:47. Maggie names her baby Leiland Junior after him, and he pledges to protect the child BK E5·01:06:58 BK E5·01:10:23. At the Cathedral of Gogmoth he tells Maggie he is so sorry for the unearned loathing he put on her, and in a vision he apologises to Declan BK E5·01:32:09 BK E5·01:39:44.

In the final battle he rushes out to stand between the baby and Olag's forces, and his Cone of Cold kills many orcs, goblins and wargs BK E6·00:03:53 BK E6·00:40:19 BK E6·00:46:13. Toby knocks him unconscious, and the baby destroys his helmet so that Kraz-Thun disappears and Leiland appears BK E6·02:02:57 BK E6·02:04:16 BK E6·02:04:24. He kills Toby with Finger of Death, wins Oswald over, and kills Hobbert with Griefmaker BK E6·02:11:14 BK E6·02:12:04 BK E6·02:39:59. At the end the baby orders him to bring the head of Galfast Hamhead, and Leiland kneels and accepts the task BK E6·02:55:52 BK E6·02:56:54.
