Scathe

Scathe is almost a stereo typical evil wizard, He cares not one wit for the lives of others, he uses people up and discards them when done, usually dead. His career started when he arranged for the death of his mentor by poisoning the pages of his spell book. From there he intensified his study of necromancy deciding that the darker arts would provide him with the power he craved.

His ghastly experiments have resulted in his being forced to live away from civilized area lest he be executed for his numerous crimes. Even his contacts in criminal organization and humanoid tribes fear and distrust him. Many is the former ally who found himself suddenly at the mercy of his former “partner”.

Scathe has currently made several breakthroughs in necromantic magic that thankfully no one else knows about. He has devised 2 powerful rituals, The first allows him to create intelligent and nearly free willed zombie-like undead by binding the souls of a person recently dead to its corpse, soul bind spell. These returned souls are bound to him and forced to obey his every command.

The second ritual is similar to a magic jar spell. For a limited time after transferring himself to another body, he can bounce his consciousness to corpses or zombies that have been prepared with the ritual. This allows him to fight and cast spells in a zombie body then if killed, transfer himself(after a 1 round delay) to another prepared body, consciousness skip spell.

Personality: Opportunist- always looks to better himself at others expense. Ambitious- extremely so, he envisions BIG plans from himself.
