	Balitor is a [[Darkonian]] [[character]] associated with [[Azalin Rex]]. After his service to Azalin in [[579 BC]], he was granted the title of [[baron]] of [[Il Aluk]].

	Like his younger friend and apprentice [[Oldar Wahldrun]], Balitor was of simple commoner stock whose background extended into the [[false history]] of that [[domain]]. In [[579 BC]], he and Waldrun were hired by [[Lady Karawinn]] to retrieve some allegedly magic [[water]] from a stream near [[Castle Avernus]]. They were attacked by [[undead]] but rescued by a stranger, a newcomer who vanquished the [[undead]]. This newcomer, Firan revealed this substance was in fact a deadly [[poison]]. Firan accompanied Balitor and Oldar back to the Karawinn mansion. Upon their arrival, Lady Karawinn took the delivery and offered them a [[poisoned]] [[wine]]. Firan too revealed this [[betrayal]] and called out [[Lord Karawinn]]. Firan ultimately uncovered a [[conspiracy]] and [[assassination]] planned by the Karawinns against [[Darcalus Rex]], then ruler of Darkon. [[Lord Aldewaine]], then [[baron]] of [[Il Aluk]], was another key conspirator. Instead of revealing the conspiracy, Firan used it to his advantage, for [[the Dark Powers]] had made him believe that Darcalus was responsible for the death of his son, [[Irik Zal'honan (Son)\|Irik]]. In truth, Firan and Darcalus Rex were two halves the same whole, split apart by the Dark Powers each with fragmented memories.

	After Oldar ran away into the night after escaping Azalin's [[kidnapping]], he never spoke to Balitor again. Unlike Balitor, Oldar never accepted Azalin's offers at life extensions and lived out the rest of his life peacefully, dying of natural causes. By comparison, Balitor continued his duties as baron of Il Aluk. He accepted rejuvenating youth stolen by Azalin from those the wizard-king deemed unworthy of youth. Balitor remained baron of Il Aluk for many, many years before finally being allowed to retire. After relinquishing the position, Balitor retired to the manor formerly occupied by the Karawinns. Excepting for the odd mission here or there, Azalin left Balitor to his own devices. Although he would sometimes serve as [[advisor]] for a political figure or other person of import, Balitor's existence became one of keeping busy between periods of rest.

	In [[740 BC]], Azalin called upon him to find and recruit the assistance of [[Oldar Wahldrun (the second)\|a descendant of the first Oldar]] who bore the same name. Balitor met this second Oldar at the first one's [[grave]], and Balitor recognized Oldar's descendant by site alone. Oldar the second told Balitor of his [[dream]]s, ones that seemingly included memories of Oldar the first's life with Balitor. When this information was brought to Azalin, he speculated that Oldar the second might somehow share the same [[soul]] as the first one.
