Samwell Staxford, named in-game as Dead Zealot of the Absolute, was an Absolutist zealot on the Rosymorn Monastery Trail during Act One.

Following the capture of Duke Ravengard from Waukeen's Rest by goblins loyal to the Absolute, Samwell Staxford was amongst those tasked to bring the duke to the Absolute by General Ketheric Thorm.

Samwell Staxford's party left him and another zealot[1] behind to fight the githyanki,[2] causing him to summon the undead to help but ultimately perishing in the attempt. His body can be found surrounded by two Death Shepherds, a Ghast, and several Ghouls.
