Zhar the Mad is a boss version of the advocates, the fireball shooting mages found on level 16 (and 15, in the person of Lazarus and his attendants.) He is found in one of the library rooms on level 8 in the catacombs, and appears to be studying peaceful. He will not attack the player unless provoked.

When first clicked on, Zhar speaks in a crazy voice. "All these interruptions are enough to drive one mad!" He still does not attack, thouggh he'll turn to watch the player as you move around the room. He waits to attack until you click on the bookshelf beside him, at which point he mutters, "Your curiosity will be the death of you." and attacks with fireballs. He can also use Flash at melee range, and teleport as well.

===Strategy Tips===

Zhar's fireballs are far lower level than those of the Advocates found later in the game, he doesn't have much defense or many hit points, and in the enclosed area of the library, he's not too much of a challenge for most characters. He drops a book when he dies, which makes this quest worth at least two books, plus whatever scrolls and books fall from the random bookstands around the room.
