Rhangaun is the senior member of the Twisted Rune. Forced into the group because Rysellan possessed his phylactery, he took control after the founder's death. Dead for more than a thousand years, he is now little more than a skeleton with glowing eyes, but he hides his true from by disguising himself as a mere human.

Sapphiraktar the Blue was made into a dracolich 300 years ago. For reasons of draconic vanity, he carefully maintains his appearance through magic, and therefore is indistinguishable from a living dragon. He is slowly teaching dragon magic to Rhangaun while he plots to destroy Jymahna (not yet on the starting squad), whose network of spies overlaps his own.

Shangalar the Black was born the son of a cambion vizier of Calimshan, He eventually slew his own father and ruled that country with his childhood friend until the latter was assassinated. He wears a cloak made of the hide of a black dragon, one of a pair that he slew before succumbing to his wounds and becoming a lich.

Kartak was destroyed more than 300 years ago but was restored this century by many carefully worded wish spells. His new body is relatively undecayed, and he is one of the more personable Runemasters. Under the guise of a simple human, he can move freely about undetected.

Priamon “Frostrune” Rakesk is a former wizard of Waterdeep who was exiled for delving into black magic. Priamon stole portal-building secrets from Halaster and is now the primary portal-builder for the Rune. All the portals he builds have secret triggers known only to him that allow him to seal them with a word or to transport the user to an alternate location of his choice. Priamon has altered his appearance to look like a ferocious ogre in order to hide his true form from spies and it also allows his bloodlust to be misinterpreted as the brutish beast’s rage.
