Channer

Channer is a powerful warlock, currently held in The Warden's Prison.

It is unknown how Channer originally came to be held in the Warden's prison. He was first encountered by the party when The Warden attempted to use Channer's telepathic abilities to establish a connection with Kristandra's parents. After making contact with her mother, a powerful being interfered with the link, incapacitating the majority of the party, and allowing Channer to escape his cell and eventually the prison.

At an unknown period after his escape, Channer intercepted an expedition party carrying a chronolabe. He killed the party with a Psychic Scream, stole the artifact, and delivered it to a masked wizard in the Waypoint of Ascalon.

During his escape, Channer used the telepathic link to the party members to learn that the party had taken Thaldurl's treasure and hidden it in a vault beneath Faceless Mountainton. He began aiding Brakesh, the goblin king in his assembly of the five goblin tribes, providing the goblin armies with magical items and spells. During this period, he used a crystal ball to scry on the adventuring party, enabling him to stay one step ahead of them.

Channer used his command over the goblins to tunnel into the town's vault and steal the Thaldurl's treasure, killing the town clerk Arnie Palmer in the process. Having severely weakened the town's defences, Channer contacted a black dragon and presumably invited it to take up residence in the abandoned dragon lair within Faceless Mountain, and clear out the remainder of the residents in the town.

Working with Brackesh, Channer began a ritual to allow the glabrezu with whom King Thaldurl once made a bargain to enter the material plane. The ritual was interrupted by the adventuring party, but eventually succeeded in opening a portal to the glabrezu's dimension. Channer, Brackesh, and the glabrezu were ultimately defeated by the party. During the battle, the manacles intended to restrain Channer were lost in the glabrezu's dimension, so Doniphon removed Channer's hands using a closing portal, and gagged him using Ormul's underwear to prevent spellcasting. Doniphon escorted the defeated warlock back to The Warden's prison.
