Masoro

Masoro was one of the two elder leaders of the Council of Morthain. He was noticeably more corrupt than his counterpart Buru. He is seen briefly in the film The Other Dimension.

Childhood
Not much is known about his childhood, although it is assumed he was present during the original founding of Morthain.

Rivalry Within The Council
At one point he and Buru were the two main leaders of the Council. They had been dealing with rough times recently (bhorath attacks, drought, economy). Buru suggested patience and a stronger sense of teamwork. Masoro voted to just crack down hard on those who weren't helping, perhaps banishing them from Morthain so only the strong remained.

Half of the council took Buru's side, the other half took Masoro's side.

Raising Soroth
Eventually Masoro stumbled upon a young boy in town. He was amazed at the boy's natural abilities with magic, considering the boy was lower class and teachers were only available to the upper class. Masoro decided he would need this boy on his side in the upcoming years. So he devised a plan to win the boy's allegiance... he killed the boy's father and blamed it on Gindu, a young boy who Buru was mentoring.

He gave the boy the name of Soroth and raised him as his own. He taught him everything he knew and made the boy hate everything he once loved. Eventually Soroth became even more powerful than Masoro himself, so Masoro used the boy do his bidding.

Masoro's Demise
He eventually commanded Soroth to destroy Morthain. Soroth eventually did destroy much of Morthain, but only after killing Masoro himself. Soroth thought that Masoro was in his way of achieving true power and therefore ended Masoro's reign.

It is thought that although Soroth was more powerful than Masoro, Masoro was still the most evil and corrupt being ever to set foot in Morthain.
