Eldin

Eldin is a male vampire. He was one of the first beings to turn into a vampire. He was originally a from a race of man from the western plains, now extinct. He knew the Quai, Ulnas, when they were both young.

He offers Ora his clan's assistance to defend Copperforge in exchange for 100 gnome captives they have drink from. When she agrees, he is included in the war council, much to Queen Sleekrun's disgust. Later, he helps Ora and Nitsuj murder the cultist Snips Cutlass.

Eldin finds another cultist for Nitsuj to murder, but only after he's already freed Kelrek. He takes the man as a down payment on his 100 captives instead.

During the battle of Copperforge, Eldin and the vampire attack and kill several of the hillfolk allied with the Kurluk and orcs. They are initially successfully, but their numbers are winnowed down to just four by the time the orcs enter the city. After the main battle concludes, the vampires pursue the evacuees of Copperforge, extracting their payment by attacking and draining the wounded.

Eldin and four other vampire attack the party in the Tomb of the First Quai-Lem. He had planned to use the power of the stone to gain mortality, that is, to retain his gift of vampirism but be free of the compulsion to feed. When the battle turns against him, Eldin attempts to flee but is destroyed by Nitsuj.
