Lord Kerr Ultwin the Undiminished (AES 40 - ???) was a human follower of the Enemy who had risen to a position of prominence and authority in the Men of the Gauntlet, ultimately serving as a Lord Commander. While most of his cohorts were brilliant martial combatants in their own right, Kerr was better known for his arcane and occult pursuits, and his strong association with Necromancy, techniques of which he used to bolster his forces with his own fallen and the fallen soldiers of his enemies. Placed into his command after the death of his mentor during the Battle of the First Wall, he rose to particular prominence after the sack of Baghar in AES 75, during which he was the third in command of the invading force. To his chagrin, he was not given the posting of the city of Baghar but did take a considerable portion of its principal libraries with him when he was assigned command of Graven Keep.
Ultwin continued to hold that posting well into the collapse of the enemy's forces. Indeed, he was still in command of his castle some 103 years later, when, in ASM 50, a dark ritual he was leading in order to either consolidate his own power or reinvigorate that of the Enemy lead to the desecration of the castle and the transformation of his living and undead followers into increasingly aberrant forms.
Since then, various theories and legends have formed around Ultwin. Some argue that he was a servant of San Verus by this time and was sucked into the Abyss or driven mad by contact with the Mad Saint's mind. Others posit that he and his creatures remain in the Keep, which remained abandoned (and usually lethal to would-be surveyors) until at least the early 17th century ASM.
