When Pelinal Whitestrake collected the Relics of the Crusader, he killed Umaril the Unfeathered, a tyrant and sorcerer-king of the Ancient Aleids. Even though Umaril was killed, his spirit survived. He then bound himself to the Daedra Lord Meridia and was cast adrift upon the water of Oblivion. Umaril wanted vengeance and eventually killed Pelinal while in his spiritual form.
