Mordakhesh the Second
Mordakhesh the Second was the rakshasa son to the dread knight of the same name, who had migrated to Aitso to aid in the freeing of Rak Tulkhesh, through the assistance of the Mad Dragonriders. He was in command of a group of mercenaries from numerous places in the multiverse. He is known as the Untethered Swordsman, as well as being referred to as Sire Mordakhesh by his subordinates, primarily rogue Undying from Eberron.
Mordakhesh had grown up admiring his father, being able to retell his stories with perfect detail. He would grow up with a great desire to accompany his father into battle. Mordakhesh is a dark-furred rakshasa with stripes of fire. He often wears dark armour with a layer of dragon scales, similar to his father's. His extreme strength in evocation and dexterity was inherited, but was expanded on when he was given imbuement from the Lords of the Fallen Queen. He wished to replicate what his father did for his first 500 years. Of course, Mordakhesh the First failed in bringing Tulkesh to the Material Plane, but he found himself contempt with his efforts.
In his other endeavours, as a potential safeguard if his summoning of the Dragon Queen went to nothing, he had found a scientist in Tyffon, and was able to deceive him into joining his ranks, through a form of mind control that was taught to him by his father. He was a close friend of Thel 'Aldama , too. Using the schematics and leftovers in making Thel, Mordakhesh was successfully able to replicate the revived warrior into multiple warforged systems in the South Pole. This was the first time that the Warforged were replicated in Aitso, as well as one of the last times. When the Rakshasa deemed the scientist to be no longer valuable to his work, he would attempt to kill him through dropping him off of a cliff. However, Thel was able to save him in a last-effort, instead of attacking Mordakhesh. He would be joined by his other party members, and the scientist, now broken of his spell of manipulation, would aid his old friend. Days after, the factory that was replicating the units of Thel, would be destroyed.
After his time in House Vargas , Lord Malison would pledge his allegiance to Mordakhesh in return for House Vargas' home to be destroyed, as well as any survivors. Malison served Mordakhesh as his advisor, and second in command. Whenever the Rakshasa had other matters to attend to, Malison would often lead operations. He was responsible, mainly, for The Fall of Bellopueblo's Palace . Malison would be killed in the palace, but his service to Mordakhesh would not be forgotten, or swept under the rug. All of the other mercenaries hired from Aitso would have originated from the Advisor's guise. Other, more minor, members to Mordakhesh's band of mercenaries include a merregon, who controlled fallen warriors through puppetry, and a shifting rogue, a Pariah. Both would be killed during the initial siege upon Mordakhesh's last stand.
When Mordakhesh was able to bring an aspect of Tiamat to the South Pole, his work was thwarted, with the crown shattered, it's abilities gone. The sieges brought by the Adilla Nation, Guildmaster Morden, and the Lord of Riots, Rakdos, the Defiler, his mercenaries and army fell, along with him. Only to be revived, through a deal with his father to discipline him and make him become a stronger combatant, and a smarter one too. His efforts on Aitso ended with one of his father's knights escorting him to a mage, who had casted Plane Shift to Eberron.

Son, let me tell you a story. A time of when I was just older than you. My heart roared with the flames of ambition much more than they do now. This old man decided to try and free an Overlord. I'm sure you can tell, Son, that I failed. Nevertheless, it was more a tribute to the journey for me. And so if you fail your goal, don't think of it as a failure of yourself. Either way, you would have done well enough for me to be proud of you, both as a warrior, and as a father.Mordakhesh the Second's primary goal is almost exact to the minute details of his father's goal. Instead of an Eberron Overlord, he aims his goals towards freeing Tiamat, the Dragon Queen of Evil, by using all five of the Chromatic Dragon Masks of Aitso. His plan was simple, to use his mercenaries to cause mass hysteria, and pick up the pieces whilst everyone is in panic. Originally, he had wished to assassinate Veronica Bello whilst she was travelling on The Rail Away across the Adilla Nation and the Plains. However, they had failed, and the primary assassin, Ava, was killed. He used her subordinate and husband to bring her back to life, however, and became his second-in-command. He had caused multiple explosions in Ebermold to acquire the Blue Dragon Mask, and had his mercenaries claim the Red Dragon Mask, in the Adilla Nation's Treasury Vault. He had also temporarily claimed the Black Dragon Mask, which he trusted to Lord Malison to use against Bellopueblo's Palace, and to also kill the Dungeons and Dickheads. However, Lord Malison died in the process, and his efforts to claim the mask went to nothing, as his enemy had the White Dragon Mask from a separate conquest in the Sea of Sands.- Mordakhesh, the First
