Ürek Thëch Ösen

Ürek Thëch Ösen was a necrobane of Kelemvor, a member of the god of the dead's church dedicated to the destruction of undead and other foul creatures that prey on mortals. He and Charles "Chuck" Ling were once part of a larger order until the day the two returned from a mission. Their conclave had been attacked by pirates, stripped of their belongings before being burned alive. Though he did not know it, the damage was more than to their bodies. Their very souls were sacrificed to Maegera, a primordial worshipped by one of the 4 Pirate Lords, Ranbur the Red. Ürek sought to avenge his fallen comrades, knowing it was pirates who did the deed but not yet sure of their identity, while he continued to keep people safe from the monsters of the world.
Ürek and Chuck were introduced to the Venture Boys when Althea Filanes, N28, and Bakris Tarak left Fast James "Jimmy" Deric in the care of the Church of Kelemvor's healers. N28 had seen the two before during her own work for the church but did not know them well. They told her of what happened to their comrades while she informed them of the recent theft of an Abyssal Shard by Arachnor. After also learning of the Venture II's run-in with pirates, the pair decided that they would be able to do some good by signing on with the Venture II. When they met Captain Eugene Reynolds the next day, he eagerly agreed seeing as he was desperate for more good hands to crew his new ship.
Unfortunately, Ürek's time on the Venture II's crew would prove short. The crew soon found themselves needing to rescue children being abducted by the hag Nightwhisper. They first had to deal with her doppelganger minions who moderately injured Ürek in battle. Bakris offered him a healing potion once the fighting was done, unaware that it was a potion of poison given to him as a "gift" by Arachnor. The poison left Ürek nearly dead and it took emergency healing from Bakris and N64 just to get him back to "moderately injured" status. Though wounded, he carried on as the group went through a gateway into the darker part of the Feywild to rescue the children.
Their arrival did not go unnoticed by the hag Nightwhisper. After a coy greeting, she dropped beneath the ground as her monsters began to attack the party. Taking on her true form, her hands emerged from the ground and pulled Ürek & Chuck into a cavern below. The ninjas tried to battle the hag, but the advantage of being on her home turf tipped the scales in her favor. Ürek received a grievous injury and Nightwhisper took him hostage, demanding Chuck's surrender in exchange for Ürek's life. Chuck tried to stall for time and the negotiations were ongoing when Ürek's injury proved fatal. He bled out and went limp in Nightwhisper massive hand, which she crushed with her powerful grip now that he was of no more use to her.
The hag soon fled and Chuck collected Ürek's remains, choosing to stay behind and hunt her down in the hopes of avenging Ürek's untimely death.
