	A long time ago (15,000 years to be exact) before the arrival of the [[Old Ones]] to the world, there lived a tribe of neanderthal-esque pseudohumans by a river during the ice age of the world. Drachenfels was among their number, and after becoming sick in his old age he was left out in the wilderness to die. He feigned death by exposure, and when one of his tribe came close he somehow (unknown even to himself) managed to kill the man and absorb his life energy (keep in mind this is before [[Chaos]] entered the world or Necromancy was invented).

	Centuries later Oswald von Konigswald, the son of the Elector Count of Ostland and relative to one of the feast’s victims, decided to seek revenge. He hired the now-adult (and kung fu master) Genevieve (who had become a bar wench in Altdorf) along with a few other no-name adventurers (a dwarven warrior with a grudge, a mercenary, a brigand leader lured with the hope of a pardon, a wizard, another dwarf who in fact turned out to be a disguised demon working for Drachenfels that they ended up having to kill, and an insane assassin woman) to travel with him to Castle Drachenfels and put the monster down for good. Oswald managed to deal the killing blow to Drachenfels and his death destroyed the Undead and Daemons in his service. The greenskins fled the fortress, and anything that remained was killed.

	Years later, Oswald bought Castle Drachenfels and hired a great playwright ~~Detlef Sierck~~ to direct a production within it of Oswald's heroic defeat of Drachenfels. The most important individuals in the Empire attended, as well as the newly crowned [[Karl Franz]] and his son Luitpold II. The production was hindered by many spooky incidents, not the least of which was the eccentric behavior of the actors and the death of all of Oswald’s old battle buddies save Genevieve. As you probably already guessed, all this creepiness heralded Drachenfels returning to life during the play and the slaughtering of a fair number of the audience and cast.

	* Spoiler: See what people didn't know was that Oswald was [[That Guy]], secretly a bitter, power-hungry pussy. After shitting himself when it was just him and Drachenfels (the others having been wounded and/or rendered unconscious), Drachenfels took one look at the whimpering weenie and decided to spare him both for the lulz and as part of a scheme. Oswald would "kill" Drachenfels (but really only destroy his physical form) while Drachenfels would sacrifice a lot of his servants to sell the act and then lay low until it was time for his revival. At that point, Oswald would stage a play about his defeat of Drach, gather all the big shots in the Empire together to see the performance, and then Drach would resurrect via a ritual involving the body parts of his former enemies and the possession of a willing mortal servant in the form of the actor playing him.

	Some time later during the Age of the Three Emperors, Drachenfels went unarmed to the Empire and announced he'd reformed and would be an ally from that point onward. He put on an elaborate PR campaign of using the wealth from Parravon to pay reparations to the victims that had escaped his castle and pled for forgiveness at the graves of those whose bodies had been recovered. After the dimwitted public accepted that he'd turned good, Drachenfels invited the entire court of the Elected Emperor Carolus II and his wife Irina, along with some Bretonnian nobility, to a feast at his castle. There, while dressed in rags and wearing a simple tin face mask, he served them an elaborate feast of wine and food laced with paralyzing poison. Once the nobles were incapacitated he had the nobles' children tortured to death within earshot of them and mocked them by slowly and nonchalantly eating food in front of them before leaving the paralyzed nobles to starve to death while a constant feast was brought out and served in front of them.
