[edit] History
Though once a noble member of the Horadrim during life, Radament the Fallen now serves the Prime Evils from beyond the grave. Bent on the task of reviving his own mummified corpse using the flesh of the living, Radament's corpse was mummified, like most of the other Horadrim, by replacing most of his internal organs with the organs of various animals. This was believed to amplify their spiritual power and help them in the afterlife. Radament has taken up residence in the Sewers below the port city of Lut Gholein. From this hideout, Radament and his minions strike out at the unsuspecting townsfolk at night to supply Radament with fresh bodies to revive his own corpse. Radament has claimed many victims, including the son and husband of Atma.

There are two points of interest regarding Radament. Both Drognan and Deckard Cain mention that Radament was, in fact, once Radament the Fallen. Whether the Fallen title indicates that he was evil from the start or had an interest in Necromantic Magics is not known. Both the reasons above can be supported by facts from the game. It may be the Radament had an evil side even when he was in the Horadrim, but his peers respected him for his power. Seeing the presence of evil in him, the Prime Evils chose him to spread Terror in the heart of Lut Gholein. It may also hold true that Radament was Fallen because of his fascination with the Necromantic arts, as seen in his perfection in trying to revive his own body, even in undeath.
The other moot point of interest is Fara's saying. She says that Radament is one of the great Horadric mages buried in the Secret Tombs in the sands of Aranoch, and that he has strayed quite far from his resting place. This may refer to the Seven Tombs, the long lost tombs of the Seven greatest Horadric mages. That leads to the conclusion that Radament was one of the great Seven. Seeing his ability to try to revive his own mummified corpse, this may be true.
