Telcontar, the Hand of Sharn

Telcontar, the Hand of Sharn, was a duskblade who had taken an oath to protect Sharn, the City of Towers. He was first encountered by Korran Ahlgorran and his comrades in 998 YK in northern Darguun during an attempt by the Blood of Vol by resurrecting dragon skeletons, and later routed a rakshasa on the roof of Morgrave University with the aid of Korran's party.

Little was heard of Telcontar for many months afterwards, but after the ruin of Sharn he presented himself before Archmaester Cyrevis, telling a strange tale: he had travelled deep within the Demon Wastes and defeated a cadre of Tiamat's followers, whereupon he received the essence of Bahamut and discovered a portion of the Draconic Prophecy. Later that night, he revealed the words to The Black Fox, High Cardinal Thoric Aeyliros, Ashke, and Lord Commander Aerielynn Tallby, whereupon the Chosen of Bahamut embarked upon the last stage of their quest. When the adventurers finally departed for Karrnath, Telcontar, accompanied by Lady Astarte and Rhyannon of Cataclysm, headed towards Aerenal and the newly opened manifest zone to Shavarath.

Nothing has been heard from the three since.

Personality and tactics
Thanks to his constant need for secrecy during his quests, Telcontar has a somewhat reserved and guarded nature, but he demonstrates warmth and generosity amongst those comrades he considers friends. His resolve and commitment to fighting the denizens of Tiamat is unwavering almost to a fault, and he has constantly demonstrated that he will sacrifice himself should such actions become necessary. Telcontar has shown willingness to work with other adventurers when their goals align, but he usually prefers to work alone; the powers he has gained over many years lend themselves to a solitary and lonely life.

During battle, Telcontar prefers to protect himself with various spells and other abilities before learning and exploiting his enemy's weaknesses, making him somewhat stealthier and more cautious than most duskblades. His prowess in both sword and spell allows him to constantly switch between melee attacks and spellcasting, keeping his foes off guard and allowing him to press his attack. The powers that he gained from Bahamut allow him to pierce the illusions and defenses of all Tiamat's minions, making him one of the most effective crusaders against the darkness.
