Vaden

Vaden defeated the previous DeathKnight Lord and inherited his curse and gauntlet, binding him to the Castle of Bone. The gauntlet turns those it kills into undead servants, and Vaden says anyone who dies inside becomes part of the castle. Unable to leave, he makes it his home, cherishing his collections and his dracolich Rot Tin Tin.

When the Hero removes his gauntlet-bearing arm, Vaden is freed and vows revenge. Scarletta concludes that the gauntlet was the expanding castle, using its wearer to build a dungeon. Later, after the Hero returns the villains’ cursed objects, Vaden pledges his unlife to their shared mission.
