Gia to onoma Isin'Tur mathainete ta parakatw (se xronologiki seira):

• Early success: Master Thief of Suzail (Cormyr)
  
• Went to war with the Shadow Thieves of Amn for 10 years. Lost.
  
• No recordings of his existance for 2 years.
  
• Re-appears in The Dalelands (alias). His "work" leads to a war between the Harrowdale and Scardale. Elminster gets involved and manages to bring peace (after thousands have died)
  
• Is announced leader of the Shadow Thieves. (his former enemies)
  
• He is believed to be responsible for the assassination of Chessenta's Emperor and 29 members of his royal council. Chessenta is invaded and occupied by Unther since then.
  

The "Gates That Breathe"
They are supposed to be intelligent portals (presented in the books more like constructs than living beings) crafted by the mindflayer masterminds to bring forth and control armies of demons. It is unclear whether they turned souls into demons or actually summoned demons at the exact location. Last time they were seen was during the war in Avernus (demons vs devils) and although Bell ordered all of the to be destroyed after he had won the war, it is safe to assume some might have survived.

It was also written that they stop functioning for 1 whole day (they are not destroyed) by inserting a fresh mortal's heart in it (kata leksi elege "using the mortal's very last heartbeat."

Connection to Mechanus

Ta mono gnwsta entry points pros ton Mechanus vasei tis vivliografias pou diavases einai sto Plane of Infinite Portals (also known as the 1st Plane of the Abyss) kai stin Sigil.

The Plain of Infinite Portals is more-or-less neutral territory in the Abyss. It appears to be a large arid expanse, with some mountains and lakes, but no flowing water, and is coated in (what appears to be) fine white sand. Portals to every layer of the Abyss dot its surface, and fierce windstorms regularly sweep across it. Most of the inhabitants of this plane tend to fly, as ground travel is made almost impossible by (literally) flaying winds and sandstorms.
Most travellers are welcome here, unlike with many other layers of the Abyss, and although many of its portals are sites of bitter battles, the frequent storms and large volume of traffic through this plane make extended conflicts dangerous and unlikely. Due to its aridness and deadly winds, only fiendish desert birds (such as vultures) live on this plane.

Den yparxei sigkekrimeni topothesia entos tou plane gia to portal pros mechanus.
