Pentival is an ancient paladin who became a saint of Pelor before being captured by Acererak.
History
Sir Pentival was a rising servant of Pelor during Acererak's time as a living man. The two foes clashed, and in the end Acererak was forced to flee or be slain.
Long did Acererak brood upon his defeat. In the twilight of Pentival's life, the paladin became a saint in Pelor's church, and it seemed he was destined to become a hero-deity as well. Then did Acererak use one of the towers of Moil to create a prison for his old enemy. After extensive preparation, he captured the paladin and trapped him within this Sundered Tower, shielded from divinations and kept drifting in the Negative Energy Plane where he could be tortured at Acererak's leisure.
After a time, even deathless Acererak grew bored with this sadism. He created a simulacrum of himself and delegated the task to it, moving to other tasks. Saint Pentival's subsequent fate is unknown, but rumors say he is still alive and still trapped in the tower.
