Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 6492500" data-attributes="member: 52734">I have a reoccuring villain in my Amberos homebrew world, named Roanoke Major, who's essentially done this.  [sblock]Roanoke ruled a kingdom and his phylactery was his throne, and he had likewise hidden several clones throughout his kingdom.  Heroes were able to convince his general to turn stag and kill him, dumping Roanoke's soul into the throne.  When his kingdom was claimed by another, he took possession of the one who sat upon the throne.  However, before he could re-lichify, he was hunted down and thought killed, though his body was never recovered.  Then he showed up a few years later.  After that body was destroyed in fire, Roanoke showed up a year or so down the road, once right after the other.  That was when those hunting him realized he was using clones.  After destroying his latest incarnation, the heroes who had been dealing with him started actively hunting for other possible copies hidden by the wizard.At one time, there were fifteen Roanokes running around at various power levels.  The hero's attempts to hunt down inactive clones instead freed several from statis.  Each one claimed to be *the* Roanoke, and it is thought that his soul was somehow actually split between all the active clones to some degree or another, causing many to be mad or to have missing large chunks of memory or skill.Eventually, the Roanokes were either hunted down or the more powerful ones subsumed the weaker ones.  Finally, one remained, and took the title Roanoke Major.  Finally ousted from his kingdom, Roanoke Major fled into obscurity.  It's thought he has a fortress somewhere in the Ice Mages, where he plots to return and retake his kingdom of the Hawk Lands.[/sblock]</blockquote>
