This unnamed character is a secondary antagonist from the Ravenloft product line novel, Shadowborn. In universe, she was the third member of the Dark Triad, the other two being the Ghoul Lord (a wizard) and the Vapir (a cleric). The Dark Triad comprised three of the last Ahltrian following the Heretical Wars. Following the end of that war and the banishment of Ebonbane from the mortal world, the Dark Triad attempted to summon Ebonbane back to the mortal world and place his essence into a sword prison. Ebonbane demonstrated that they were only successful in binding him to the sword. Ebonbane killed and reanimated the Triad as special ghouls in his service. The Dark Triad warrior was the one whom forged the sword that would bind Ebonbane [1]

Following their transformations, Ebonbane ordered his minions into Forenoon Abbey. After the Triad massacred the monastics in Forenoon Abbey[2], the Abbey was eventually drawn into the Mists as part of the Phantasmal Forest surrounding Shadowborn Manor.[3]

In 626 BC, Alexi Shadowborn, Lysander Greylocks, Dasmaria Eveningstar, and Ferran Shadowborn ventured into the Demiplane of Dread, where they confronted and destroyed the Vapir, the Ghoul Lord, and their ghouls.[4] Alexi Shadowborn only encountered the Dark Triad warrior inside of Shadowborn Manor, where, taking on the visage of Dasmaria Eveningstar, she wielded Ebonbane's sword under domination from the fiend. The warrior was slain when Ebonbane's sword and Corona shattered each other.[5]
