			Lysander Greylocks is a major supporting character from the Ravenloft product novel [[Shadowborn]]. In universe, he was a former enemy of [[Lady Kateri Shadowborn]] until she freed him the possessing influence of [[Ebonbane]]. He subsequently aided her son against Ebonbane until his death in the later half of the book. Lysander was a [[cleric]], a [[priest]] of the moon goodess [[Brigit]].

			==Biography==
			===As one of the Ahltrian===
			On Lady Kateri Shadowborn's homeworld, Lysander Greylocks was an elite [[soldier]] in the army of the [[Southern Empire]] and one of the [[Ahltrian]]. Along with his liege, [[Grand Caliph Muhdar ab Sang]], Lyssander became [[possessed]] by [[Lussimor]] (also known as [[Ebonbane]]). While under the fiend's control during the [[Heretical Wars]] with [[the Great Kingdom of Avonleigh]], Lysander and his troops ambushed Lady Shadowborn and her troops at [[Hammerlin]], killing the vast majority but capturing a few, including Lady Kateri herself. Under Ebonbane's domination, he [[torture]]d and [[raped]] Kateri, implanting in her Ebonbane's seed. Despite the horror she was subjected to, Kateri did not break and eventually escaped, taking with the remaining [[survivor]]s of the [[knight]]s serving under her.

			In [[608 BC]], Kateri birthed the son conceived by Ebonbane's seed and Lysander's rape. She left the baby with [[Lord Vincent Shadowborn]] and [[Lady Victoria Shadowborn]].<ref>p. 10-11</ref>

			Two years to the time of her capture by Lysander, She defeated Lysander at [[Sined Pass]] and took him into custody.Sensing the unnatural [[evil]] that controlled him, Lady Kateri Shadowborn freed Lysander Greylocks of Ebonbane's influence. Using the [[knowledge]] he gained while serving as Ebonbane's lackey, Lysander provided Kateri with wise counsel against his former master's methods and tactics. Using such advice, Kateri eventually confronted Ebonbane and banished him from the world.

			===Monastic life===
			Despite the fact that Lysander's [[transgression]]s were made while under domination by Ebonbane and the contributions Lysander made to atone, his mind was filled by [[guilt]]. He would have lost himself to [[suicide]] had Kateri not taken him to [[Forenoon Abbey]] and charged the abbot there with his care. Lysander found his peace among the [[monastic]]s there and [[converted]] to the church of [[Brigit]].

			A year after Lysander settled into life as a monastic, Lady Kateri and her troops returned to the Great Kingdom victorious from the Heretical Wars. Despite her victory, the wars caused her spiritual exhaustion, and she retired to [[Shadowborn Manor]].

			Despite the seeming respite delivered by the defeat of Ebonbane and the Southern empire, [[evil]] was not so easily thwarted. A trio of the three remaining Ahltrian called the [[Dark Triad]] were evil entirely of their own volition. They [[conjured]] Ebonbane back to the [[Prime Material Plane]] and attempted to bind him as their [[slave]] inside a [[sword]] [[prison]] for his essence. Their binding was flawed because, while Ebonbane was bound within the sword, he was no bound to their will. Ebonbane [[killed]] his [[summoner]]s and [[reanimated]] them as [[ghoul]]s. Once revenged against his summoners, Ebonbane set about hatching a revenge scheme against Kateri for his first defeat.

Ebonbane took personal control of Lysander and, blade in hand, forced him to strike down Alexi in her own home.

When Alexi was [[knighted]] in [[624 BC]], Brigit answered his prayers to break free of his bonds.<ref>p. 174-176</ref>

	On Lady Kateri Shadowborn's homeworld, Lysander Greylocks was an elite [[soldier]] in the army of the [[Southern Empire]] and one of the [[Ahltrian]]. Along with his liege, [[Grand Caliph Muhdar ab Sang]], Lyssander became [[possessed]] by [[Lussimor]] (also known as [[Ebonbane]]). While under the fiend's control during the [[Heretical Wars]] with [[the Great Kingdom of Avonleigh]], Lysander and his troops ambushed Lady Shadowborn and her troops at [[Hammerlin]], killing the vast majority but capturing a few, including Lady Kateri herself. Under Ebonbane's domination, he [[torture]]d and [[raped]] Kateri, implanting in her Ebonbane's seed. Despite the horror she was subjected to, Kateri did not break and eventually escaped, taking with the remaining [[survivor]]s of the [[knight]]s ~~serving under~~ her.

	Two years to the time of her capture by Lysander, She defeated Lysander at [[Sined Pass]] and took him into custody.Sensing the unnatural [[evil]] that controlled him, Lady Kateri Shadowborn freed Lysander Greylocks of Ebonbane's influence. Using the [[knowledge]] he gained while serving as Ebonbane's lackey, Lysander provided Kateri with wise counsel against his former master's methods and tactics. Using such advice, Kateri eventually confronted Ebonbane and banished him from the world.

	Despite the fact that Lysander's [[transgression]]s were made while under domination by Ebonbane and the contributions Lysander made to atone, his mind was filled by [[guilt]]. He would have lost himself to [[suicide]] had Kateri not taken him to [[Forenoon Abbey]] and charged the abbot there with his care. Lysander found his peace among the [[monastic]]s there and [[converted]] to the church of [[Brigit]].

	A year after Lysander settled into life as a monastic, Lady Kateri and her troops returned to the Great Kingdom victorious from the Heretical Wars.

	Despite the seeming respite delivered by the defeat of Ebonbane and the Southern empire, [[evil]] was not so easily thwarted. A trio of the three remaining Ahltrian called the [[Dark Triad]] were evil entirely of their own volition. They [[conjured]] Ebonbane back to the [[Prime Material Plane]] and attempted to bind him as their [[slave]] inside a [[sword]] [[prison]] for his essence. Their binding was flawed because, while Ebonbane was bound within the sword, he was no bound to their will. Ebonbane [[killed]] his [[summoner]]s and [[reanimated]] them as [[ghoul]]s. Once revenged against his summoners, Ebonbane set about hatching a revenge scheme against Kateri for his first defeat.

	Ebonbane's first step of revenge was sending his minions into Forenoon Abbey after Lysander the [[defector]]. Once inside, they [[killed]] all of the monastics there and [[reanimated]] them as [[ghoul]]s, Lysander included. Ebonbane took personal control of Lysander and, blade in hand, forced him to strike down Alexi in her own home. From there, the fiend left Lysander sealed away in a [[grave]] at Forenoon Abbey to be tormented eternally with the actions he committed. As his ghoulish former monastic brethren [[corrupted]] the Abbey and turned it to evil, Lysander prayed to [[Brigit]] to escape his bonds and avenge the death of his friends and allies. When Alexi was [[knighted]] in [[624 BC]], Brigit answered his prayers to break free of his bonds.<ref>p. 174-176</ref>		Ebonbane's first step of revenge was sending his minions into Forenoon Abbey after Lysander the [[defector]].

	[[Dasmaria Eveningstar]] and [[Ferran Shadowborn]] joining them, Alexi and Lysander set out to avenge Kateri's death. Their travels, or rather [[the Mists]], led them to [[the Phantasmal Forest]], where Kateri's [[ghost]] held Ebonbane's spirit within the domain that was once her home. In Forenoon Abbey, they encountered and wiped out most of Ebonbane's ghoulish minions before moving on to Shadowborn Manor proper.<ref>p. 204-225</ref> Over the course of the conflict with Ebonbane, Lysander became [[possessed]] by the spirit of Ebonbane once again.
