Grand Sapientum Iorda

A high mage of the Tibor Imperium immediately before its collapse into the War of Souls. Responsible for the atrocities involved in creating the Dragonborn at Imperial Research Alpha. Believed to have been killed when a concept bomb was detonated at the Imperial Gala where he was reporting his success (the same bomb that started the War of Souls by destroying Imperial Center). In reality, he escaped by petitioning the White Skull (with whom he had dealings previously). He willingly became a demon, and spent the next few hundred years researching soul migration. In pursuit of this, he arranged to have himself "captured" by cysgoroesi agents and placed into a soul stone in Creche Skeud. He used his demonic persuasion skills, knowledge of the truth behind the Pact with Death and its collapse, and knowledge of blood magic to prey on Abbot Kaga's incipient madness, leading to the abandonment of that creche under false pretenses. He then spent the 200+ years until the Wild Cards arrived manipulating the abbot's experiments, trying to create a jotnar-resistant body so that demons could freely walk the mortal plane. When the Wild Cards revealed him to be a demon in disguise, the mad abbot ordered his carrier golem to smash the containment field on his soul gem. The extreme density of abyssal energies opened a rift to the Abyss and Iorda was sucked through, falling into the Oblivion Gate.
