Heroes of Might and Magic III[]
The Shadow of Death[]
All that is known about Jeddite's past is that he and Sandro were good friends and they were students of the great warlock, Ethric. In fact, it was Jeddite himself who introduced Sandro to Ethric, but the master doubted his new apprentice's abilities from the beginning. Sandro left, learned necromancy and became a lich, but Jeddite completed his training and successfully became a warlock. Later, when Sandro returned with some powerful artifacts in his possession, Jeddite wrote him a letter revealing some things. Jeddite blamed himself for some of the events happening, felt ashamed of Sandro's rise as a necromancer, and thought he might have paid more attention to his master. He then stated that he had made an alliance with Lord Ufretin, one of the influential figures of the elves, and Ignatius, one of the commanders of the Kreegan demons. His goal was to destroy Sandro and get the artifacts to Ethric. A week later, Sandro wrote a response to his former best friend, in which he was a little overconfident in style, but told him he was not afraid of his threats and would defeat all his opponents. Even Sandro himself admitted that Jeddite had become a quite powerful warlock, but he managed to defeat him, though he could not kill him because he retreated.
