Lysander Doom is a formidable and charismatic sorcerer who excels in mind control and manipulation. His sorcerous origin, combined with his spells and legendary actions, make him a terrifying adversary capable of bending others to his will. He is the leader of the Cult of Doom, a Hierarchal organization that is little more than a front from the Red Hand of Doom with the sole mission of bringing death and destructions to the Sword Coast and seeing the rise of Tiamat.
He wishes to accomplish this by charming the children of powerful people and brainwashing them to kill or blackmail their powerful and important parents. Two example of this are:
- Caleb Teskerhill - Whose father is responsible to the quality horses used by the Lions of Triboar
- Loreal Neverember - Who father is the master of Neverwinter on the Sword Coast. The quest to return Loreal was given to Thorne by Sildar Hallwinter and is described in the Quest Rescue Loreal Neverember.
HISTORY
In his early days, Lysander Doom was a slaver in the South who lead armies that dominated the landscape and enslaved entire populations. He sold these slaves all over Faerûn and encountered many different kingdoms, and many different ways of holding power. It was in a distant kingdom that the met Tyrgarun and allied himself with the Cult of Tiamat. It is here that he learned the "Secret," the hidden laws that govern the universe. In reality, the secret is that he brainwashes people, taking away their responsibilities and power.
DEMISE
It was discovered that Doom had taken the daughter of Dagault Neverember and during a quest to Rescue Loreal Neverember Chaotic Gold destroyed Lysander Doom with a lightning bolt to the chest. Upon death his followers awoke as if from a horrible dream.
