Bak'al
Bak'al
Allegiance Corruption & Darkness
Information The leader of the corrupted armies, Bak'al has spent the last 1000 years destroying Wynn and spreading the Corruption.

After the opening of the portal, a human known as Bak'al entered the Nether[1], and return as a corrupted monster. But unlike the others that had simply lost all intellect such as the Corrupter of Worlds[2], Bak'al's mind had survived in part and allowed him to control the corrupted. It wasn't just the force itself that he could control though, as Bak'al would lead an army of the corrupt dead to destroy Wynn. Bak'al would attack Ragni, Troms, Nesaak, the town of Detlas[3], and many other towns and outposts who's names have been lost to time[4][5]. All those that opposed him would soon perish, whether by his hand, or simply to the corruption itself. This would include the Twain family, who Bak'al would kill many of during the time of their protecting Wynn[6].

Bak'al serves the beast of Dern, and when visiting him in the Silent Expanse, was tasked with placing The Eye onto the top of Eldritch Outlook, so that it could watch over Wynn[7]. It is unknown why Bak'al serves the beast, but his dialog often suggests that his efforts to corrupt Wynn are actually increasing the power of darkness[5].

In 886, Bob would be the first to defeat Bak'al, and save Ragni from total destruction[8]. Unlike the Twains, who had been born with magical abilities, Bob had learned his and was far more powerful because of the wide range of abilities he had access to. After a crushing defeat, Bak'al would essentially disappear for many years, and has since then been unable to step foot in any city or town in Wynn.

In the quest A Hunter's Calling, the player works with Bak'al to destroy past Nesaak, Troms, and modern Detlas. In the fight to destroy Detlas, he sends you as his minion to kill Tasim and Aledar. It is not known how the events presented in this quest actually relate to the canon, but events that occurred before these stories do appear to line up correctly with the normal story.
