Barnon was a powerful warlock in thrall to the followers of the dead deava Alkir. Originally from Sanguine, Barnon travelled all of Radavan in search of artifacts to raise the dead god and his minions. Barnon managed to secure one of the crucibles necessary to raise his dead master, and returned to Sanguine where he used the laboratory of the tiefling demilich Dost Toffens to reincarnate the soul of the ancient warlock Gruwel Alek.
Barnon of Whitestrand was defeated and questioned by Heinrich Doomhammer before he was sentenced to death for his crimes.
