Necromancer (Lords of Shadow)

The Necromancers are one of the three main groups controlled by the Lords of Shadow, the others are the Lycans and the Vampires. The Necromancers are ruled by the Lord of the Dead, Death himself. Three Necromancers are encountered, two as bosses, and one impersonated the Dark Lord, and raises the Dracolich Titan.

Background
Necromancy is the most evil of all the schools of magic and can only be performed by the followers of the Dark Lord of the Dead. Unlike vampirism and lycanthropy, the powers necessary to control the energies of the deceased are not easily acquired. The Dark Lord only shares a small part of his power with his followers, who themselves must die in order to use the abilities given to them. Once dead, they become his thralls and their master is able to control them with his own considerable power.
