Verigan Antioch

Not much is known of Verigan other then he was a brave warrior who took part in the Sand Wars alongside many other people and his son Karpath. He had a scar over his left eye from an old war wound, and wore a glass eye in its place.

Verigan defeated the evil of the Sands, but was killed in the process. His son Karpath founded the Templars, whose castle, Verigan's Hold, is named for him. Verigan is Old Peculier's grandfather as revealed in episode 25.

He also seems to be the writer of [pKarpath's Map]], as he referred to it as his map. He somehow managed to contact Xephos and Honeydew through it, after they recovered two pieces. He showed them the future that would come to pass, if they failed in their mission to stop the Sands. The future was a terrible place, shown to be completely made of netherrack and sand, with large spiders and dragons roaming freely throughout, with an army of robots, similar to PirateTinman. It is also shown that Israphel leads this new nightmarish Minecraftia and has had several large monuments to himself erected while the others were either killed or used as slave labor.

Trivia
Simon played the role of Verigan in the bonus mini series Verigan's Quest. This led to a deep existential crisis upon realising that he was no longer a dwarf.
