Chadda Darkmane was perhaps the most widely-known and famous of the captains of Salamonis, having been instrumental in foiling the designs of Balthus Dire and Zharradan Marr during the Trolltooth Wars, and of being one of the preferred instruments of Gereth Yaztromo's schemes to combat evil in Allansia.

Description

He was infamous for being the most hot-headed of the Salamonian soldiers, as well as having an incredible distrust of sorcery in general and its practitioners in particular. So acute was his distrust that he has even developed an uncanny ability to "smell" sorcery as it is being used, claiming it reeks of sulphur. Despite this, he was a good friend of Yaztromo's and was grudgingly aided by Zagor in order to defeat the wizard's two rivals.

As with all Salamonians, Darkmane prized Amonour - the term used in the Vale of Willow for fame and prestige - above all, for it was this that truly made a person's fortune in life, barring intervention from the gods. Because of his many exploits, great successes and heroic actions, his Amonour was particularly impressive, even when compared to some other notable heroes of the age.

History

He was born on the 12^th of Sowing, 260 AC,

At the time of Demonstealer he would be instrumental in ensuring the Demon Rivel was destroyed before coming back to the dimension of Titan. and later on, at the time of Shadowmaster (and always in collaboration with Gereth Yaztromo), Darkmane will be a protagonist of the destruction of the ancient necromancer Axion and of Cawlis, the possessed Shape Changer magician that managed to recall Axion from oblivion.

Further Notes

• Although Shadowmaster was the last Darkmane novel to be published, there were plans for a fourth Darkmane novel, with the working title of Spiderbones. It would have featured Darkmane meeting the son of Zagor the Warlock.
• The Myriador D20 System adaption of Trial of Champions states that "Last year, Chadda Darkmane emerged alive from the dungeon exit and became the first person in history to have survived the Trial of Champions and claim Baron Sukumvit Charavask's 25,000GP prize." This would mean Darkmane was the protagonist of Deathtrap Dungeon. This claim that Darkmane successfully passed through Deathtrap Dungeon is not made in any other Fighting Fantasy publications.
