The highest pointed hero (OK heroes) and items I've ever created. It's for the Vampire Counts but maybe you could use him in other armies with permission.
---------
Gilles de Raitz was once a leader of men and was believed to be an honorable man of on the border of Bretonnia near the Empire. Even as a child his ability to lead others was becoming well known, he led the children to prevent some goblins entering the food stores. He had charm and guile and a smile that disarmed the ladies. He did have an ego to match his charm and some who saw him wondered how he got so talented.
During a trip Sylvania as a young man he met up with the woman he would make his wife the Lady Erzsebet. As soon as they met there was electricity in the air, they seemed to be drawn to each other. His charm and her beauty seemed to be a perfect match. But it was their devotion to the dark arts that really bound them together. She fell so madly in love with him she never left his side and she strengthened his course down the dark side. They kept hidden for many years his powers but some began to wonder why he and his wife never appeared to age. Unfortunately to keep their powers they had to make many sacrifices and that was the start of his downfall. Bretonnian citizens started going missing en mass and King Louen of Bretonnia himself became aware and went forward with many of his Knights to meet with Gilles.
When Gilles saw the knights he decided to bring forth his powers. He called on all his power to empower his mortal followers, his beloved Honor Guard, to fight the glorious knights from Bretonnia. The ensuing battle lasted many days and on the 8th day of battle King Louen and finally met Gilles face to face. The clash of swords lasted well into the night. All still alive including Lady Erzsebet stopped their fighting to watch the clash of these two powerful foes.
The fight went on into the courtyard of Gilles castle and King Louen nearing his last reserves of strength he put his sword into the heart of his foe. Gilles fell backwards into his throne and the magic unleashed unnerved all who saw. Blue flames appeared and engulfed Gilles and Lady Erzsebet ran to him and embraced him in the flames. This action removed the last vestiges of mortal life from their bodies, changing them into something more. There were no screams from Gilles or Erzsebet while changing into what they were becoming and the flames renewed some of their power. Gilles chanted some words from a language that the Bretonnians knew not and the throne lifted into the air and floated them away from the battle. The last words said by the monstrosity that was no Gilles was that he would return to enslave all before him and make King Louen bow before him before ending his life.
Lord Gilles de Raitz and the Lady Erzsebet took several years to recover their strength in the forests of Sylvania and have begun to resurrect his army with thoughts of his revenge. Soon they plan to return to Bretonnia to regain his believed right to rule the land.
