Ekandor

Ekandor is a Red Wizard that you first encounter when you meet Neera in Beregost. Just after she approaches you, asking for help against "vicious magic bandits," he attacks along with a Thayan Wizard and two Thayan Bodyguards.

If you invite Neera into your party, and keep her long enough to get her quest Find the Wild Mage Adoy, you will have a second, and far more deadly, encounter with Ekandor in the Adoy's Enclave area.
