Waterdeep

A male human mummy with a commanding presence, adorned in regal, albeit decayed, noble attire; his eyes glow with a sinister light.

Hund is eccentric and malevolent, reveling in combat and the acquisition of arcane knowledge. He often taunts intruders, viewing their attempts to challenge him as both entertainment and opportunity to expand his collection of magical texts.

Born into the noble Hiilgauntlet family of Waterdeep in the early 14th century DR, Hund Hiilgauntlet was an accomplished fighter who later delved deeply into the necromantic arts. His obsession with undeath and creating a grand tomb for himself led him to petition the Lords of Waterdeep for a mausoleum in the City of the Dead. Denied, he turned to Undermountain, where he discovered a two-way portal to the Arcane Chambers. Hund hired workers and mages to construct an elaborate tomb complex, known as Lord Hund's Tomb, within Undermountain. Upon its completion, he betrayed his workforce, transforming them into undead guardians, including a young noble from House Eltorchul who had sold him the portal's location. This act incited a feud with House Eltorchul, leading them to destroy the portal and ransack Hund's villa, abducting his daughter. Before his natural death, Hund enlisted a Calishite mage to perform a ritual that transformed him into a mummy.
