[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 7284928, member: 40176"] You could borrow Morrigan's backstory from Dragon Age. Maybe the lich who trained you was not actually completely ageless - eventually, his undead body would decay and give out, and his best hope for extending his life would be to transfer himself to a new host. But in order to retain his power, that new host must be a wizard of great power in his own right. Modoc has been bred and raised for precisely that purpose - but he eventually got sick of the lich's strict rules, strict diet and strict exercise regimen, and decided to strike off on his own. Modoc doesn't know his former master's true intentions for him - when he was growing up he never really questioned why he was being trained, and since he made his escape he hasn't been able to ask. But the lich is still keeping tabs on him, and perhaps one day, either when Modoc's powers reach sufficient level or when the lich's body deteriorates too far, he may find himself forcibly called back to serve his original purpose.
