  Oh, but the story is long, twisted, and convoluted, as many stories about Zhentil Keep are.   Manshoon and Fzoul have known each other since  youth and both have risen to power with each other's help.   Manshoon and Chess were young nobles who's fathers were killed by betrayal.  The only way that they were able to live was to double-cross the high priest of Bane that was trying to kill them.  They enlisted one of his underlings, Fzoul, in this betrayal.  In the process, both Manshoon and Chess became lords of Zhentil Keep and Fzoul rose to new heights in the Church of Bane.  It was at this point that Manshoon needed to consolidate his power that he created the Black Network.   
  If you really want to understand the full story in detail, I suggest you read the Ruins of Zhentil Keep, which I believe is a free download from WOTC.

                      |  Sorry, I was wrong.  I double-checked, and it is not one of the free ones.  It is one of those .pdf's that I purchased for $5 on the official website.   Sorry 'bout that.   It is worth it, if you have the $5. |
