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 little more than a skeleton with glowing eyes. He owns a Staff of Magi.

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.

Shyressa slew the vampire that created her and began to study magic. She gained a Runemaster seat only a decade ago. She enjoys cat-and-mouse games with people who draw her attention. She has created fire spells that give off dark flames in order to be more subtle in the night hours when she is active.

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 orge, 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 minotaur in order to hide his true form from spies and it also allows his bloodlust to be misinterpreted as the horned beast’s rage.

Jymahna was a concubine and was made into a lich by Shangalar. She wears a magical silver mask with unknown properties. Her ties to many caravans make her an important source of news about remote lands. Jymahna has taking on the form of a drunken norseman that picked a fight with the wrong person and ended up a headless corpse in the inn’s back alley. The head is now rotting nicely in Jymahna’s library.
