 ==== Nakam Alkat ====
-The original name for the [[Dark Mage]].
+Nakam Alkat was the human wizard who eventually became the [["Dark Mage"]].
+He was born in I:2590 and entered the [[gûlaraî|Gûlaraî order]] at age 36. Five
+years later, his natural talent with magic upstaged and embarrassed [[Psalor]],
+the [[Ainagûl]]. Over a few weeks, Psalor's embarrassment transformed into an
+unbridled rage, leading the mage to conspire to banish Nakam from the order.
+This abuse of power not only led to the downfall of [[Psalor]], but also sent
+Nakam to a descent into evil -- where he made a pact with [[Hades]] to become an
+undead after his death.

-of Deva essence on the evil mage) adopted this name to distinguish him from his
-evil counterpart.  Later killed by the [[Dark Mage]], but revived after the wars
-ended.  When Nakam began to lose his sanity and feared he would slip back to his
-evil self, he set an elaborate trap for himself, using the heroes to carry out
-his own suicide.
-Wrote the treatise [["A New Mortality"]].
+During his brief reemergence at the end of the third age, the [[Dark Mage]] was
+split into two halves when [[ozzie|Lord Ozzie]] dumped a jar of distilled Deva
+essence onto him.  The living human half of this split adopted the name "Nakam
+Alkat" -- though he was in many ways only a simulacrum of the original wizard.
