S'Grotak Undraek is a potent demon lord or lesser might who fancies himself the "Ravenous Assassin" (what his name means in the chaos tongue). He is a reaver of souls and regularly sends missive to mages and priests in Pergerron, attempting to teach them how to reach out and summon him so that he may gain freedom on the mortal plane to do what he does best: murder. 

The Ravenous Assassin recently struck a deal with the wizard Vothan Almarek of the city of Samaskar, an entrepeneurial wizard keen to learn demonic magic. In exchange for giving the demon freedom to prowl the streets at night and commit murder, S'Grotak Undraek in turn filches relics and spell lore from the hideous demon city of Nix where he dwells when he is trapped in the abyss and hands his findings over to Vothan.
