King Jeffers is the risen Dreadknight, and former Triumvirate King of the Ultan Empire along with his brothers, Eid, and Erom. He and his brothers were cursed with unlife by Inferion 500 years ago in the last war for the Soulforge, where they valiantly pushed the demonlord back, and saved their Dwarven allies. They were found and awakend by their loyal Regent, Suul, and now seek to claim both the throne and the Soulforge. The Undead army imposes debilitating maluses on their foes, and each enemy unit killed by one of their zombies rises again to serve Jeffers. The Vampire Lord, Regent Suul, is an extremely powerful Sorceror, who wields both, dark magics, and his cursed blade, The Terrible Hunger of Suul, which drinks the life force of enemies in melee combat.
