Fevil

Fevil has his own agenda, which Zeburon and his raiders unwittingly help him to follow. He lets the ex-gladiator think he is in command, for the slaves would never agree to follow a wizard. What the defiler needs the slaves for has yet to be determined, and he refuses to give any hints to those who may one day oppose him. The defiler stumbled upon the ruins within the pool of black sand long before Zeburon arrived. He knew that unlimited power awaited him in the caverns beneath the ruins, but he was unable to explore very much of the depths. While his personal power was great, the foul denizens of the deep could overpower him if they attacked in force. So he bided his time, studying the areas that were open to him. There are those who claim that Fevil communes with one or more of the creatures living beneath the ruins. Some say he gets his powers from a far reaching evil out of Athas's past. Others say that his powers come from the records the ancients left behind. The wizard will not comment either way.

He is as cruel and evil as Zeburon, but much more cunning and calculating. While Zeburon acts on instinct and in response to his own madness, Fevil acts according to a carefully laid out plan. When the details of that plan are finally revealed, the defiler's true nature will also be revealed. However, by that time it may be too late.
