Editing Darklord (section)

==Harkon Lukas==
Darklord of Kartakass. A [[wolfwere]] bard from the [[Forgotten Realms]] unusual among his kind for his highly social nature, as most wolfweres are lone predators who only come together temporarily to breed. Seeing as how he couldn't get other wolfweres to agree to hang around together, he started focusing more on integrating into human society. He still hunted and ate humans, but he also gained a genuine love of human culture and of the idea of being somebody important. One day, for no reason since he'd basically been doing the same stuff any wolfwere does, just spending a bit more time in town in between kills, the Dark Powers grabbed his ass and yanked him into Barovia. At which point he went on an anti-wolf killing spree for, again, no particular reason. This attracted Strahd's attention, and he nearly killed Lukas, forcing the wolfwere to flee into the Mists, which gave him his own domain of Kartakass. Which, much to his frustration, is a tiny, rustic place where the most power he'll ever have is being mayor of a small town, so he's got the letter of what he wanted but not the spirit, making for a hollow victory.

===5e===
The 5th edition version of Harkon Lukas is a [[Loup-garou]] instead of a wolfwere, and it changes some of the other details about him. As in the original, he had dreams of a [[werewolf]] society - an empire of werewolves, in fact - but that dream was dashed by the werewolf indifference to gathering in large numbers. So he tried to forge an empire amongst [[human]]s, this time actually directly getting involved; ultimately, he led a revolution against a king by faking his own death as a martyr to stir up riots, then using these to get him close enough to the king that he could burst out of the coffin his followers were carrying him around in, rip the king to shreds, and take the king's crown for himself... which was when the mists swallowed him and he found himself in Kartakass. His curse is also tweaked slightly as well; rather than being doomed to never rise above the position of mayor, he's doomed to never rise above the even less prestigious position of nearly-forgotten, washed-up performer.
