Dareth is a myth to many. Tales say he fought in a war hundreds of years ago, while others say that he was killed by a Forest Guardian a millenia ago. Still others claim he is the son of a powerful being. However, in person he seems to be in his forties and there is no hint that he has lived as long as they say. In fact, none of the stories have any true basis and all that is really known about him is that he is dangerous and kills those who he feels are in his way or beneath him. It is suspected by some that he started the stories himself to create fear in all those around him, but those who suggest such things usually find themselves dead.
