 ==== Nakam Alkat ====
-The good half of the Dark Mage, created when Lord Ozzie dumped
-a jar of Deva essence on the evil mage.  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.
+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.
+For more information, see the [["Dark Mage"]] entry.
+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.

+When the new Nakam began to lose his sanity and feared he would slip back to his
+evil self, he [[anniversary_1986|set an elaborate trap for himself, using the

+a touching treatise known as [["A New Mortality"]].
