Edmund Hellbane
When the red dragon known as Tadregos encountered the battle-mage, Edmund Hellbane, no one could anticipate what would happen next. The battle was fierce and Tadregos was confident that he could defeat the mortal man. But Edmund had powers that Tadregos had never known before and Edmund was victorious. However, before the dragon could die, Edmund cast a spell upon the dragon. He absorbed the dragon's very essence; his soul, his mind, everything. Tadregos' essence was channeled into Edmund's blade.

Thus, Hellcroft was born.

Battle at Andorhal
It is not known how Edmund became a death knight or even part of the Scourge, only what has become of Hellcroft as a result. The rune blade became the corrupt, evil. When Zerehedord defeated Edmund at Andorhal, Hellcroft chose him as his new master. When the Paladin eventually took Hellcroft as his weapon, his powers of the light began to disappear over time. It was Hellcroft that trained Zerehedord as the death knight he is today.

Present Day
Zerehedord still wields Hellcroft as his weapon, but the blade is unhappy with his new master's means. Zerehedord has vowed to uphold the tenants of the light, even though he is no longer able to wield its powers. Though for now his efforts are unrewarded, Hellcroft continues his attempts to sway his new master...
