History
When Natans became lord-governor of Undare, he began searching for ways to bring prosperity to the city. He found a crystal of power in the foundations of the city. This crystal, called the Qhall, housed the soul of a powerful psionic being. Using the crystal, Natans forced the being to share its knowledge with him, becoming a powerful psion.

Using his new psionic powers, Natans found a sahuagin named Sherrac hiding among the citizens of Undare. Sherrac was also a psion like Natans, and that commonality allowed Natans to control him. Through Sherrac, he extended his control to the rest of the telepathic sahuagin. Natans then secretly founded a cult that worshiped a goddess of the sea, Lohaesk (which was actually the sahuagin goddess Sekolah). This created a commonality between the cultists and sahuagin, extending Natans' reach. The Qhall taught him how to create a creature called a mindwitness that would boost his psionic signal even more.

Natans also paid off workers from House Briarhook to weaken defenses around Undare, to make it easier to move sahuagin in and out of the city. At this point, some of the faction leaders were becoming suspicious, so Natans attempted to use the Order of the Horse's Shoe to interfere with them. When this did not work, Natans put all his cards on the table.

He ordered every brainwashed cultist and sahuagin to invade the city and forcibly brainwash any who resist. The citizens fought back with the help of the Order. When the Order destroyed his mindwitness, Natans' plans were already foiled. But Natans was stubborn.

He forced the Qhall to unleash all of its remaining power in order to keep control of the sahuagin. When the Order found him, they fought wave after wave of sahuagin while whittling down his psionic shield. When the party tore the Qhall from his forehead, his psionic powers left all at once and he died from the resulting backlash.
