Information on Reginald Mardux and Royce Mardux

Evenin',

Here is what I have on Reginald and Royce Mardux as well as some ideas on the direction of research scholars can take. Also note that if anyone wants me to look at their research results, answer questions in regards to what I have learned about what's going on, all that, please feel free to ask. We will win this. Through valor, cunning, and faith we will overcome.

Name of Creature: Reginald Mardux
Type of Creature: Undead/Demon (Please note that Alexander modified undead such that they could walk into the daylight by layering still living flesh onto bodies. It is possible that he did the same thing with the Reginald's body).
Creator of Creature: Uton(SP?) Alexander
Known Powers: Melding with shadows, powerful bite, has at least a partial resistance to sunlight, could be protected by chaos warriors
Level of Intelligence: At least semi-intelligent. The creature was able to break free of Uton's control and has survived undetected for approximately 15 years.

Background: As inspired by the demon Xualla, Uton Alexander dug up Reginald Mardux (the brother that was killed by Jonathon Travance when he rescued the princess) and upon further examination found that the Reginald still had a residue of Travance's powers(which are basically psionic in origin) in it. He further corrupted the corpse and introduced a demonic parasite that feeds off of mental energy and animated it. When this happened the creature sought out and bit Jonathon Travance, thereby transmitting the parasite into him. Upon further research Uton discovered the following facts about the parasite, as long as one creature has the parasite all of the creatures that are infected by it will be unable to be cured, the only individuals in which the parasite can survive are Travance and Reginald.


Name: Royce Mardux
Race: Human
Abilities: Strong warrior, very tough, master of time sorcery, possibly other powers

Background: Royce Mardux was one of two Mardux brothers. They captured one of the princesses of Kormyre and went across the rift. Jonathan Travance crossed the rift and fought the two brothers, killing Reginald to get the princess back. Royce fled and, after swearing vengeance on Travance settled down on a farm. He was then visited by Xualla and travelled to Travance in order to find and deliver justice to Jonathan T for the murder of his brother. When Royce and the rest of the town found Jonathan Travance he broke down and had vanished before townspeople knew what was going on.

Potential ideas for research

The creature most likely has evaded detection up until this point because of his power to blend into shadow. Determining the nature of this shadow power and how it is cancelled would be very useful.

Using the vision we had where we saw Royce Mardux, it may be possible to work backwards and figure out where Royce is and visit him at his home.

If Royce isn't at home, he could be tracked from his last known location. The trail is cold but it is possible.

Researching the parasite should be done in order to see if it gives Reginald any additional powers and/or craves anything that could lure it out would be good.

Doing research on Reginald in order to find out things that would draw him out could help as well.

Final thoughts:

Sometimes when trying to find someone it is easier to try to get the person you are looking for to come to you. This might be an avenue that would work here. If we can find something that the creature wants, instead of trying to pick through all of the world trying to find him, he will come to get whatever it is he wants.
