Myrapheus

Myrapheus is an ancient darkspawn warlord who was brought back to life during the Fifth Blight. In what was once a Grey Warden headquarters, after the defeat at Ostagar in the Korcari Wilds, a group of darkspawn gathered inside the ruins and spoke the ritual which would bring back Myrapheus. With Myrapheus now awakened, he took charge and ordered the darkspawn who had awoken him to gather more darkspawn and they would march to Starkhaven and destroy it and all who inhabited it. A few days passed and finally Myrapheus' army was ready to march. They proceeded to the Free Marches, but were soon delayed by a contingent of mages from the Circles. They fought for days until the First Enchanter decided it was to risky to continue the fighting, so he ordered a full retreat. The darkspawn then marched on and entered the city. Soldiers and civilians from inside the city began to take the fight to the advancing darkspawn forces, but were overwhelmed. Within a few hours, Starkhaven belonged to the darkspawn. They took the city with little resistance. Myrapheus ordered the darkspawn forces to burn down the city, but before they could begin, an army of Grey Wardens from Weisshaupt Fortress arrived and Myrapheus and the darkspawn were forced into another battle just as soon as the other had ended. Led by Warden Commander Philius, the Grey Wardens entered the city and cleared out the darkspawn who had occupied the city. The city was now under the control of the Grey Wardens, however during the battle, Myrapheus fled and began making his way to Sundermount. Philius and a few of the other Grey Wardens gave chase and followed Myrapheus all the way to Sundermount. Before Myrapheus could enter Sundermount, he was stopped by a clan of Dalish Elves who had begun to occupy Sundermount. A battle ensued, and Myrapheus killed a few of the elves before Philius and the Grey Wardens arrived. Myrapheus then turned his attention towards them and slayed all of the Grey Wardens in the group except Philius. As Myrapheus went for the killing blow, Philius picked up the staff of the Dalish clan's Keeper and drove it through Myrapheus killing him before he could kill Philius. With the death of Myrapheus, a newfound alliance was formed between the Grey Wardens at Weisshaupt Fortress and the Dalish Elves of Sundermount. Recruitment of elves into the Grey Wardens increased and in return, the Dalish Elves taught the Grey Wardens about their history and crafting Dalish weapons and armor. Many darkspawn tried to bring back Myrapheus, but none succeeded and after many failed attempts, the darkspawn finally gave up and turned their sights towards beginning a new Blight in Myrapheus' honor.
