About 100 or so years before the main plot happens, Orcs and Humans waged an infinite war. Old grudges and xenophobism fueled the senseless conflict. Kressalak was a sorcerer who discovered a method of channeling the death in the air. He was able to draw on the terror, hatred, suffering, chaos, and death of the war. Kressalak was able to manifest these five nether elements in to beings that came to be known as demons.
With his army of darkness, he was able to simultaneously crush both orc and human armies, ending their conflict (against each other, at least). He built a kingdom upon the corpses of his enemies and revelled in the glories of war. That's about when a group of rag-tag adventurers set aside their differences and got all up in his business. Kressalak was slain (spoiler alert!), though his spirit refused to pass on. Every time he died, he would just reincarnate in a more powerful form. After about 3 transformations, the party of heroes managed to seal his power in a series of gemstones. His spirit manifested in a suit of armor in the very castle he was slain in.
Kressalak has serious magic ability. He has mastered all four basic elements and can throw some mean attacks. Or at least he used to before he was stripped of his power and sealed in a castle. Since he is bound to the mortal plane, he is sure to antagonize the party at some point with sheer badassitude.
