Appearance:
A tall, pale, thoughtful man who dresses in dusty black, primarily due to having better things to think about than what to wear. Besides, wearing black as a necromancer is
expected.
His familiar is a little black rat named Profanity.
History:
You need a special kind of mind to master necromantic magic, and Lord Lucius Mortimer de Vicomte has it. But then, he is a special kind of person.
Mort – as his friends would name him if he had any – is both the son of the late Lord and Lady Vicomte, nobles with a penchant for the arcane, and child of the goddess Wee Jas. The details of this double parenthood are now known only to Mort and the goddess, and neither is willing to tell.
What is known is that Lady Maribeth de Vicomte, a high priestess of Wee Jas, died during or soon after the day Mort was born. Lord Samuel de Vicomte raised him, teaching the basics of magic and hiring many great wizards to educate the talented boy. About a year ago, Mort's father died and left him the family name – and a minor dept, because nothing remained of the once great family fortune.
Like his divine mother, Mort has a natural feel for the magic concerning life and death. Disciplined and highly intelligent, Mort has easily become a necromancer and is now looking to expand his repertoire by channelling the divine might of his goddess mother. Being ambitious and calculating, he is already planning his ascent to godhood, even making plans to gain worshipers and siphon power from other gods.
Life is a game of chess. For Mort, so are death and divinity.[/sblock]
