Dantalion, Standard Bearer of the Rootseers

Dantalion’s true name is lost in his own lengthy past. Faceless, he wears a helm and faceplate to cover the tremendous wounds suffered at the hands of the Death Hags of Har Ganeth. The exact circumstances by which Esakh came to preserve the life of this aged Druchii are likewise lost to history, but the life debt owed to the Rootseers has developed into a sincere and mutual respect between lord and retainer. Dantalion, bearing a demon’s name and a haunting visage, carries the battle standard of the Rootseers to war, rallying those troops beneath him through the widely shared legend of his salvation.

Some tell the tale of a daring raid by Esakh to rescue one who was harmed and disgraced by the family of the sibling couple. Some claim Dantalion was Esakh’s mentor and spark of his deeper lawful morality. Still others claim it was Enlil’s connection to the Death Hags and her desire to disgrace one Hag in particular that led to a political move that spared Dantalion’s life. Whatever the truth may be, the only fact that matters is when the Rootseers march to war, the banner of the army is held aloft by this handpicked Druchii warlord and woe betide any man or monster who stands in his way.
