Eric Frost I

A former Red Wizard and follower of Kossuth, Eric Frost was present in Westgate during the Hands of Westgate miniseries. He has since made an appearance in the Path of the Tome

Description
An old, slightly odd, but devoted wizard, Eric Frost is balding on top with a frosty white beard. His eyes are bright blue, and he is never dressed in anything but Red. He is often seen carrying a odd staff, along with a crystal ball.

Personality
Odd is the only word to describe this man. Unlike most Red Wizards, he comes across as unimposing and sometimes even friendly. This outword facade, however, is hiding the evil boiling over that constantly threatens to erupt. Eric is never one to overreact - he is methodical in his planning and always thinks things through. He is fond of knowing things before anyone else does.

History
Eric Frost met Evandur Jasson shortly before the latter was killed in Westgate. During their brief encounter, Evandur managed to convince Eric that Kossuth and his dogma needed to be spread throughout Faerun - and Westgate was a perfect place to start. Eric responded by burning down a local tavern - and headquarters - of the local thieves guild.

With Evandur's death, and an intolerant Paladin taking over the city, Eric was forced to flee Westgate shortly after his fire genasi friend fell. While his current whereabouts are unknown, it is a noted coincidence that Evandur's sword, The Voice of Reason, also disappeared shortly after his death.

What Frost did in the next year is still debated, but he emerged in 1376 with an immense following. He was found to be the leader of the Death Flames, a small sect of Red Wizards and Kossuth zealots who banded together to further the fire god's dogma. Frost led the group on several missions. The first was strictly revenge, as Frost went after the people responsible for Evandur's death. Though the Circle of the Tome, and specifically one Talbane Daggerfall, intervened and saved Schara, he was more successful with Kaezen. The Death Flames destroyed his shrine to Shar, and thought him dead. Frost later found that Kaezen was not killed in the blast, but died in the streets of Starmantle.

Current Whereabouts/Activities
Frost's next move was to ally the Death Flames with a tribe of Yuan-ti in Tashalar, via a Vampire named Vega Jericho. The Death Flames were to help Jericho use the contents of the Boxes of Netheril to help resurrect the god Myrkul and claim the portfolios of the fallen gods Bane and Cyric. In return, Jericho promised help in battling the foes of Kossuth.

Frost met his end when a group of do-gooders battled to stop Jericho's plans. Despite his best efforts, he was killed underneath the city of Hlondeth.
