His yellow smile and rotting folds of flesh betray his curse of undeath. “Jack” is a disgraced cleric who betrayed the Synod during the inquisition. He was forced to hang his apostate allies, then sentenced to execution by lustration (being drowned in holy water). After his death, his body was ritually reanimated to serve as a secret pawn of the Noosefriars, forcing him to live as the eternal attendant of the gallows even as his body slowly rots.Undead: The gallows work like this: anyone who dies while wearing a noose tied by the hangman, Penitent Jack, will awaken in a new body dangling from the gallows on Heretic Hill.This new body happens to be whatever new character the player creates to replace the one that died.The character generally retains his or her previous name and sense of identity (although that’s ultimately up to the player).The new character also retains 50% of the previous character’s XP and, importantly, retains any information possessed in his or her previous incarnation.Any character who has been reborn at the gallows counts as being undead for the purposes of turning and other magical effects.Wandering Dead: The unholy influence of the gallows curse has leaked into the disrupted graves and cracked vaults and causes the vengeful dead to rise when the moon is right (and it is often right).Undead Mire Dragon: The mire dragon has contracted Ebonwood Rot, but instead of seeking purchase in the ground, a root system covers the entire beast, creating an up-armored mostly-dead-but-undead mire dragon that obeys the telepathic thoughts of the Esther Tree.</blockquote>
