Ivandis Seergaze was one of the Seven Priestly Warriors who fought against Lord Drakan and his forces. He came from what is today known as Lumbridge.
He was the only one of the seven warriors to survive the battle in which the River Salve was "blessed" to prevent the vampyres from crossing it.[1] As a consequence of the ritual, he started experiencing symptoms of vampyrification,[2] and decided to make a suicide run against Lowerniel Drakan.[3] He was not successful, and was buried in a coffin within the tunnels beneath The Hollows.
He is described in The Sleeping Seven as "A deft and well skilled man of unusual appearance, he held a most bizarre control over some powerful minions of Drakan's horde. A rod or staff helped imbue him with such power. Then with the aide of a Guthix serum he would turn the vile entity, often times destroying the creature instantly or reverting it to an original incarnation or worst of all enraging it greatly, much to the chagrin of his holy brothers."
Ivan Strom is his last living descendant.[4]

While our conflict with the vampyres focused on this side of Salve, the materials we needed required various scouting missions deep into enemy territory. One of those missions mapped the tunnels found deep beneath Morytania, including one going right under Castle Drakan. And so, my path is clear. I will travel into that dark land one final time. I will use that tunnel to enter Drakan's home. And there, I will finally put an end to him."
