Rennas Arethroat

Rennas Arethroat is a major character in the later stages of the Sabre of Meitor campaign. He has been the leader of the Black Fang for almost a decade and by extension the ruler of the Morbus Isles for the same length of time.

Although he does not participate in the rest of Liken's affairs, Rennas is intent on claiming not just the meagre Morbus Isles, but ownership of the continent itself. Whether he has the power to do this seems unlikely, but a threat he is considered nevertheless.

Early Life
Rennas was born in the town of Kummitus on Ghost Isle in 576 UB. At this point in time, the Morbus Isles were run by a democratic council made of three members, one for each of the inhabited islands; Ghost, Crescent and Solar. The council ruled from Onyxstone Fort on Black Isle and had made the isles prosperous, if a little isolated.

Rise of the Black Fang
When Kummitus suffered a series of killings in 591 UB, both of Rennas' parents were slaughtered by "a man of height and hair upon his back". This event proved to be a turning point for the then 15 year old. He was taken in by the Temple of Peace and looked after by the head nun Mother Bethan and his friend, Gertrude Zendan.

However Rennas was swayed to associate with the Black Fang, a radical religious cult, by a fellow visitor of the temple Seras. Travelling north to Black Fang Fort, he was there when Ser Septimus, Caius Aurion and Ausshulkaan were captured and held prisoner.

Rennas then stole the two halves of the blade Soulrender and fused them back together, disappearing into the tunnels beneath the fort.

He wouldn't been seen until a week later when he emerged in Kummitus and murdered Sister Wylla. With his friend Gertrude now in control of the Temple of Peace, he was able to force the party to leave Ghost Isle.

Flight from Foscor
Rennas appears leading the attack to kill both Zenaxus and Thuramax Bastien. The motive about his anger towards Zenaxus is currently unknown. The Black Fang were able to crush the resistance, though his two targets fled on a boat westward towards the Liken mainland...

Battle of Carcino Bay
Rennas leads the attack on Carcino from the eastern bay. Having the largest army on the field allowed Rennas to ditch typical tactics and simply swarm the already hard pressed armies. The fighting was brutal, with Rennas losing almost a quarter of his men. However compared to the other forces he had a military victory. Still with 60000 men, Rennas set out both north and west, presumably off to plunder the defenceless Melsan population...
