Dzaan

Dzaan is a wizard who came to the Icewind Dale with what some locals have come to call "the one-eyed wizard lady" - Vellynne Harpell. He had been seen (watchfully) in Bryn Shander, Targos, Bremen, and Termalaine: the last of which is where he has come into trouble, accused of the downfall and deaths of beloved local heroes (see: Gnoobz and Grim Trophy).

• Investigations (see: Search for the Missing Gnoobz and Hostage King) led to
• insights from Spellix (see: Spellix's Story) and the other Gnoobz (see: Tales of the Dead)
• and ultimately Dzaan was executed (see: Toast in Termalaine).
  

Dzaan had attained the rank of Master in the Arcane Brotherhood's School of Illusion. He was originally from the land of Thay, but for unclear reasons was not allowed to join the Red Wizards. Somehow showing he is not a spy, or perhaps otherwise bribed or manipulating the matter - he was accepted into the Host Tower, and has proven to be an acceptable member.

Two strange twists of fate continue Dzaan's story after his execution, however.

1. The necromancer Dex kept his charred bones, later able to call upon him as a minion.
2. A simulacrum of Dzaan still existed, employing high magic-technology of @neth, to take the identity of Meltharond. (See: In-Spired).
