Samwell Staxford, named in-game as Dead Zealot of the Absolute, was an Absolutist zealot on the Rosymorn Monastery Trail during Act One. After he accidentally stumbled upon hostile githyanki youth, he raised a group of undead Death Shepherds and Ghouls to assist him but ultimately perished in the ensuing fight.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
Following the capture of Duke Ravengard from Waukeen's Rest by goblins loyal to the Absolute, Samwell Staxford was amongst those tasked to bring the duke to the Absolute by General Ketheric Thorm. He and his party presumably escorted the captive duke through the Rosymorn Monastery Trail to Moonrise Towers, before accidentally encountering a group of githyanki youth training outside Rosymorn Monastery.
Samwell Staxford's party left him and another zealot[1] behind to fight the githyanki,[2] causing him to summon the undead to help but ultimately perishing in the attempt. His body can be found surrounded by two Death Shepherds, a Ghast, and several Ghouls.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Samwell Staxford's portrait and physical appearance are completely identical to that of Zealot Malik.
- It is unclear how Samwell Staxford raised undead to assist in the fight, as Zealots of the Absolute do not have access to
or any similar spells.

Narrative: the party sent from Moonrise to kidnap Ravengard was returning with him when they encounter a few gith teens who were training. The party left behind the Zealot with his undead to deal with the githyanki youths - what you find is the remaining undead, and the dead bodies of the giths and the zealot
