Anmalas is a Malish swordsman who has spent most of his life in bound in unwitting service to the Hollow God. With him, he brings disease, bound to him by a former client who sought to use the talented and powerful swordsman as a vector. He has traveled far and wide, serving many militaries, but he has always found disease to be his constant companion. His comrades never put it together with him, for disease is a fact of war, but he finds it unsettling all the same. He recently has been hired by a party of elves to help him track a dwarf who used to work with mercenaries that he worked with as well.
