Necromancer

Necromancers are evil sorcerors who use their powers to raise the dead to form vast hordes of the Undead. They also know ways to drain live from their opponents, make them age and let them die in moments, while they extend their own lifespan nearly to immortallity. At the end any Necromancer becomes an undead being himself, called a Liche. They practice Necromancy a perversion of the Lore of Death and are found in Vampire Counts armies. The first and greatest of them was Nagash.

Other renown Necromancers are or were:

• Heinrich Kemmler, also called the Lichemaster
• Dieter Hellsnicht, the Arch Necromancer of Middenheim and
• Arkhan the Black, chief lieutennant of Nagash and also a powerfull Liche

Necromancers are able to ride on Nightmares, Winged Nightmares or even dread Zombie Dragons. In the past some Necromancers have also ridden living monsters like the Manticore instead of undead constructs.
