Duke Nharov Gundar is the former ruler of Gundarak. The vampire lord resided in Castle Hunadora.[1] He was betrayed by Dr. Daclaud Heinfroth[2], who allowed him to be staked. (It is unclear why Heinfroth and his accomplices did not completely destroy Gundar, but his skeleton was found in Hunadora and sold to Professor Arcanus by Gabrielle Aderre. He was later revived by Jaybe and now walks the land, no longer a darklord.[3] He suffers amnesia due to his time as a skeleton, now roaming the land in a bestial state, with only foggy thoughts of revenge on Dominiani.[4]

Atrocities

In canon, there is little revealed about Duke Gundar's life before stepping into a gate to Ravenloft. As darklord, he executed horrible taxes among the downtrodden peasants he ruled over, going so far as to tax the gathering of firewood and even the birth of a boy instead of a girl (on the basis of a boy's contributions to the state over a girl's.) When the peasants tried to rebel, he mercilessly killed the insurrection leaders and put their corpses on display in the orchards of Castle Hunadora. The fruit given by these trees were so tainted they remain inedible to the peasantry to this day.[5]

One of Gundar's more specific acts of cruelty was the attempted subversion, imprisonment and torture of the traveling bard troupe Morts-Qui-Dancent in the year 641 BC or shortly thereafter. Gundar tried to get the bards to serve him as spies, but they refused. As punishment, he called on his son Medraut Gundar to torture them and curse them with a unique form of cursed undeath. They are required to regularly entertain others or face loss of the energy that animates them.[6]
