Udwin

Udwin is a minor villain in the video game Spellforce: The Order of Dawn.

Past
Udwin was a wealthy and powerful magician who lived hundreds of years before the Convokation, during the time of the Great Empire. He hailed from the white city Talindar and was a respected scholar. Udwin wore a silver ring of power which was desired by many.

Udwin had specialized in studying demonology and the history of demons. His studies led him to develop a proficiency in fire magic. Eventually, his studies led him to believe that an ancient demon real was located in the depths of Barga Gor, where he hoped to find ancient knowledge about the creation of the world. Udwin travelled to the Barga Gor where he led an expedition into the depths. None of them ever returned alive.

Spellforce: The Order of Dawn
Hundreds of years later, eight years after the destructive event known as the Convokation, spirits of Udwin's companions resurfaced at an abandoned ruin outside of Liannon. Fearing the spirits, the people of the village shunned the place. Eventually, the Rune Warrior arrived at Liannon and slew the ghosts which left their rings of power after their death. From Darius, a scholar living in Liannon, the Rune Warrior learned about Udwin and that the spirits were the spirits of the men that accompanied him.

After the three spirits were slain, the ghost of Udwin himself appeared at the ruin. However, in contrast to his men, Udwin did not immediately attack and the Rune Warrior was able to talk to him. However, when the Rune Warrior showed Udwin a book one of the spirits carried with him, Udwin remembered the horrible fate he suffered down in the caves underneath Barga Gor. The pain drove him mad and, like the other spirits, he attacked the Rune Warrior but was defeated and killed in battle, allowing his soul to find peace at last.
