"There is peculiar manner in which this creature regards you. Where there is only emptyness or malice in the eyes of the undead you have battled in the past, here there is a suggestion of honor and respect - an archaic chivalry from a time when chivalry was a widely held ideal and not an object of mourning. Its skeletal face and unfamiliar armor designs are perhaps the least of the evidence that this knight is a relic of a civilization and culture long since buried and forgotten by all others."
Sarduris is the leader of a small group of the knights of the Undying Dragon.

Notes[]
- For some reason, Sarduris is classified as a human. He still has undead immunities and even pointless Weapon Proficiency (creature) but no Darkvision.
- He has many longsword-focused feats despite using a (very good!) bastard sword.
- He has a Deea Pouch (+4 STR, -4 WIS) in his inventory.
