The Wight

The Wight, born Thaddeus Denver, is a founding member of The World Alliance. He is the sole survivor of a planet-wide extinction event, although he soon finds out that he, in fact, did not "survive". He perished but returned as an undead, at the behest of someone whose identity he has yet to discover. He is bound to the physical realm under some strange magic, and he has abilities granted to him through this magic, but he cannot explain any of it, nor does he truly understand it.

When Thaddeus uncovers his living past, he learns of his familial connection to Kantrall the Archfiend Annihilator, and of the similar fate that they shared. Kantrall is unaware of this until Thaddeus confronts and subsequently informs him. This inadvertently leads to Kantrall's demise(as he realizes and accepts that he "died" many years ago), and the passing of his guitar-sword to (****).
