The ghost of Eliv Thade is one of the Haunted Woods' more notorious undead characters. He's most well known for centering his [after]life around anagrams; writing them, talking in them... it's believed that he was driven insane by them, when one of his servants presented him with a puzzle he could not solve.
He's also the author of Grimoire of Thade, a Battledome item; in it, he wrote down all of the puzzles he ever devised, and it's quite a thick book. The last person to read that book apparently made it to page two before going insane him or herself.
In a background featuring Thade's castle, there is a portrait of a Kacheek that may be a representation of Thade when he was still alive:

Even Eliv Thade's name is an anagram. If you unscramble the letters properly you can find Evil Death. He is a member of the Awakened.
Thade appears to have a portrait of an unknown Kau hanging in his kitchen:
