Biography

Iska'al was a poor merchant, who sold teas and invited Calus to confide in him. Calus believed Iska'al to be trustworthy - and thus told him his deepest concerns. Calus was wrong. After the Midnight Coup, he became wealthy selling teas to the soldiers of the Red Legion - who would insult him, calling him the Imperial informant as though he would send word to Calus. Calus held a vendetta against him due to his inaction; he believed so strongly in the pure value of the individual he perceived inaction (when any dissent would have resulted in his death) to be a form of treason. Despite this, he proscribed he should be killed by an overdose of opiates - so that he could die in ecstasy.[1]

During a celebration, one of Calus's assassins, Rull, snuck into his estate. Iska'al attempted to crawl away as his guards were killed in front of him. In the end, Iska'al was drowned by a goblet of Calus' own wine.[2]
