Andres Duvall

Andres Duvall is a Bardic Lich. Once a human bard, he was a "guest" at Avernus, kept by Azalin to "lighten the mood." One day while snooping in the library, he was caught by Azalin and a blast of magic intended to kill him struck a magical tome and accidentally transformed him into a unique form of lich. Thus far, he has kept his good alignment and has worked against Azalin.

In Twilight's Children, Andres's back story is different. Instead of entertainment, Azalin was using him in an attempt to circumvent his curse by learning bardic magic instead of wizardly magic. Andres was lured into this arrangement by The Kargatane, as he was raised in Neblus, and grew envious of the long lifespans of his elven neighbors. He knew The Kargatane as The Immortals, and was promised eternal life for his service. One of his first assignments for them was using his bard skills to gather information in Kartakass, regarding The Crown of Souls. On this assignment, he reported to Valric. His transformation into a lich remains the same, though rather than fighting Azalin, for now, he serves him, guarding his phylactery.
