History: She was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. Through the years after Mardnab was born, her father became increasingly distant from her family, instead choosing to pursue power in the west.

Upon awakening, Mardnab discovered the rest of her party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Mardnab fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing her own horrible transformation.
