I had Kaladriel be a "reincarnator", a member of a necromancer coven that killed an entire people in a holocaust to gain enough necrotic energy to become immortal. Now they reincarnate and continue their evil generation after generation. One PC, a paladin of the Raven Queen, is the Scion, the last descendant of these people. He is charged to hunt the Reincarnators down and killing them permanently. This has worked well, as I can make numerous villains into reincarnators.

I plan on having a Kalarel Huecuva (or whatever it's called) show up before too long. :) I used the Ashen Covenant article from one of the early Dragon Magazines (one of the ones that’s still free, I believe) to flesh out Kalarel.

I'm doing almost the same thing when I'm preparing to run this module. A tip would be to heighten the fearful atmosphere of the Keep (which was mention in the book but I've heard that many just turn in into a hack fest) that will remind the players the severe consequence if they fail to stop him. Another tip would be to give PCs a clue that the ranger is somehow related with Kalarel very early on so that they will be better prepared for the Kobold Lair or the Graveyard fight. Working on the specific relationship that Kalarel has with the ranger could be also useful to prepare ahead. Great tips! I’m doing almost the same thing when I’m preparing to run this module.
