But believe me, Ithzaruul had a hell of a lot of steam by the end. I could have ran the game (I'm not being prideful...just honest here), but everything had been so incredibly "blah" with choosing Valg as a patron and the anathema from Kresh that I just really had no desire to beat everyone down with a character that was, in essence, made incredibly dull.
For a *long* time after Ith's last death, he never fell again, and continuously stomped the hell out of every opponent he came across.
This was how Ithzaruul was at the moment of his deletion, btw:

A blasphemy against nature and the heavens stands here within arm's
reach of you. A perpetual vortex of icy mist flows soundlessly up
from the ground and into the black recesses of the lich's robes,
disappearing as if being devoured by the shadows. A thin layer of
frost ebbs and flows across the exposed bones of the creature,
pulsing in unison with the fluctuations of the surrounding mist.
Twin pools of chilling cerulean incandescence blaze with inhuman
intelligence and unholy intent within the sockets of its bare
skull. Hanging from its belt is a thick tome bound in red leather
and trimmed with gold, which seems to be in impeccable condition.
Upon its other hip is a sheathed longsword, clearly designed with
quickness in mind. You notice that the frost also covers the sword
and the book, as well as the rest of its clothing, as if the creature
thrives on the warmth of life, leaving nothing but death and the
chill of the grave in its passing.
Ithzaruul, a male undead, is in perfect health.
Ithzaruul's magical aura blazes, showing great power in reserve.

Hundreds of dark runes have been stitched into the fabric of this black
robe. The runes pules and glow faintly as you are mesmerized by their
dance. A strange pocket is stitched into the inside of the robe. You
look inside and realize it is enormous, compared to what the pocket
would normally be able to hold. There is obviously some strange magic
at work there.
