The Necromancer

Origins
The Necromancer is the final boss of The "Caress Of Steel" Campaign. He is also the driving force of the plot.

Backstory
It is unknown how The Necromancer came to exist. As far as anyone knows, he has been around since the beginning of time. He has tormented the lands of Willowdale and Megadon for as long as anyone could remember. At full power, he has the ability to mind-control helpless people and creatures, turning them into his mindless slaves. He can do the same to creatures who are dead, reanimating them. Practically no one can defeat him.

However, the one being able to ever defeat him was By-Tor, a brave prince who was able to craft a sword of evil's bane. With much strength and perseverance, he managed to slay The Necromancer who's body dispersed into a cloud of smoke, freeing the lands of his evil torment. After he was slain, the land lived in peace for over 40 years. By-Tor went into hiding after this, never to be seen by the townsfolk ever again.

Unfortunately, after those 40 years, The Necromancer's power grew strong once again, and his body and powers regained form. In fright, most of the kingdom locked themselves away in their homes, praying for the day of By-Tor's return. (see The "Caress Of Steel" Campaign for extra info)
