  Try this one:-
  
  I have much to tell you, but I'll die before I'll talk.
  I appear to be named for the manner of my death.
  You'll know my name from my title.

  No takers? And there was I thinking that I'd given y'all a fairly easy one this time! Okay, hint time ...
  
  There are no cryptics in it this time, all three clues are straight literals ... but a couple of the clues may be even more literal than they look.

  Lavok? Is that his name? The wizard in the planar sphere?

  @RelSundan - No, not Lavok (although yes, that's the wizard in the sphere).

  Mook? I can't think of anyone that's named after his or her method of death...

  @Neverused & @Mush_Mush - no.
  
  Further hint: there are many others who also appear to be named after the manner of my death.

  Monk? As in, the nameless monk from Balthazar's monastery that dies in Abazigal's lair before you get a chance to question him?

  Jon Irenicus, the Shattered One?

  @semiticgod - no and no ... but in the former case, you're thinking along the right lines.

  Even further hint: it's a somewhat analogous situation to the nameless Monk mentioned by @semiticgod above, except that in the one I'm thinking of, we do discover the dead character's name and information.

  It isn't Gore-ion is it? Probably not I am guessing... I will think on this for a bit and try to find a real guess...

  My brain is not working right now... I think I get all your clues but I just can't put them together for some reason. Probably tired...

  No, not Tazok.
  
  Gee, I didn't think this one was so hard! Okay, more hint needed ...
  
  The clue referring to "the manner of my death" means "the type of creature which (we can reasonably presume) killed me".

  @Neverused - is that a suggested solution, or a question about the manner of the solution's death?
  
  @gorgonzola - no ... but you're getting very close now!

  @Mush_Mush - still no, but still close. You're definitely thinking along the right lines now!

  @Mush_Mush - no ... but still nearly there. Think about what the third clue might mean.
  
  @Tresset - no ... and see my replies to @Mush_Mush, who is very close to the solution.

  That shadow that is in the jail on the other side of the checkerboard? I have no clue... There are no other shadows there...
