	Alondrin the Betrayer, as he would eventually become to be known, was not always the evil man ~~whom~~ wielded [[blood magic]] and so casually violated the [[dead]]. At one time, he was the [[bocoru]] ([[shaman]]) of [[Port d'Elhour]]. He was the [[student]], the best student, and even the lover, of [[the Maiden of the Swamp]]. However, the powers to make life grow and work magic in line with nature eventually failed to satisfy Alondrin's thirst for power. The magic taught to him by the Maiden could not be used to bind the world to his [[selfish]] ~~desire~~, so he turned elsewhere.<ref name="[[Dance of the Dead p. 170-172">[[Dance of the Dead (Novel)]] p. 170-172</ref>		Alondrin the Betrayer, as he would eventually become to be known, was not always the evil man who wielded [[blood magic]] and so casually violated the [[dead]].

	To feed his lust for power, Lond took up [[blood magic]] and [[necromancy]], turning his back on his former duties and upon the Swamp Maiden herself. Lond achieved great power with the "magic of [[blood]] and [[bone]], more so than if he had stayed with "fruit and flower" [[magic]].<ref name="Dotd p. 171-172">DotD p. 171-172</ref> Alondrin eventually created or learned a way to create intelligent zombies through the use of a magical powder. Using this method, Alondrin not only controlled the bodies of his victims but also their very [[soul]]s.

	However, trafficking with such dark forces came a horrible price<ref name="Dotd p. 171-172">DotD p. 171-172</ref>, as his body became [[scarred]] as he accessed ~~the~~ blood and his body warped with the gradual loss of his humanity.

With Alondrin's [[betrayal]] of his post, his people were left without a connection to the ways of nature and the spirits.

	Eventually, Alondrin felt that [[Souragne]] held no more [[secret]]s for him; that to keep extending his skill in arcane knowledge, he must escape the domain. To this end, he approached [[Captain Raoul Dumont]] after the latter's arrival in Port d'Elhour in his magical riverboat, [[La Demoiselle du Musarde]] to make a deal. Lond offered his services to Dumont in exchange for passage out of Souragne. Such services included the [[reanimation]] of [[Brynn]] and eventually the rest of the ship's crew (save for his [[pilot]]s and [[actor]]s) as intelligent [[zombie]]s able to pass for the living.<ref>DotD p. 76-79, 95, 99-100, 173, 199</ref>		Eventually, Alondrin felt that [[Souragne]] held no more [[secret]]s for him; that to keep extending his skill in arcane knowledge, he must escape the domain.

	The plans of Alondrin and Dumont began to unravel when [[Willen]] revealed his plans to [[Larissa Snowmane]] and sent her to get help from the Swamp Maiden. At the [{Maiden's Isle]], the Maiden trained Larissa much as she had once trained Alondrin.<ref>DotD p. 140-173, p185-187</ref> When Larissa approached [[Anton Misroi]], lord of Souragne, for permission to attack La Demoiselle, he taught her his most power magic, the [[Dance of the Dead]]. Misroi hated not Alondrin's ambition or wanton reanimation of zombies, but rather his desire and will to leave without Misroi's blessings.<ref>DotD p. 228-229 236-242</ref>		The plans of Alondrin and Dumont began to unravel when [[Willen]] revealed his plans to [[Larissa Snowmane]] and sent her to get help from the Swamp Maiden.

	Armed with the lessons taught to her by two [[loa]] and backed by many creatures of the swamp, Larissa led an assault upon the ship and its zombies. Over the course of the attack, ~~Dumot~~ saw one of his arms taken off and Lond saw many of his zombies destroyed. A powerful [[wizard]] with mastery over the dead, Alondrin replaced ~~Dumont's arm~~ by grafting an [[undead]] one. Furthermore, Alondrin's power enabled him to turn many of his former attackers into new replacement zombie minions.<ref>DotD p. 270-290</ref>		Armed with the lessons taught to her by two [[loa]] and backed by many creatures of the swamp, Larissa led an assault upon the ship and its zombies. Over the course of the attack, Dumont saw one of his arms taken off and Lond saw many of his zombies destroyed.

	Eventually, Larissa's luck began to run out. Her energy waning and her forces whittled down, she faced the imminent wrath of Lond. Although evil, Dumont intercepted Alondrin's attacks and attacked his former ally. However, Alondrin called upon the arm he grafted upon Dumont to pluck out the [[heart]] of its living host. With Dumont [[deceased]], Larissa faced Alondrin alone. Her back against the wall, Larissa called upon the Dance of the Dead. Alondrin was powerful enough to somehow survive its attack and gloat about it, yet he met an ironic end in the deluge of zombies called in the aftermath of the dance.<ref>DotD p. 290-304</ref>		Eventually, Larissa's luck began to run out.
