Waldren was a brigand mage who burnt Lerilin down in 430. Megalomaniac, impatient, and irresponsible, Waldren first appeared in Lerilin searching for magic stones. At the time, Evers had requested from all citizens that they would help her collecting stones to cure Seth, so Lerilin seemed to the brigand like a good place to attempt a trade. As an excuse, he claimed that he, too, was trying to cure an old wizard, and he threw Alastor's name to the inquiring population. However, he was received with hostility by those loyal to Evers, and had to use more aggressive means. At first, to demonstrate his power and his command of Black Magic, he kidnapped Amalia and Kyshak, then leader of the Lerilin Vanguard, into the Rat Cave.
