Unique
Hidden deep in the mountains, right on the edge of the Void and the left of the Fortress, resided Unique. This isn’t his home though. He didn’t really have one, a nomad of sorts. This is just his current residence. He has only been in his little mountain home for about 100 years or so. He has a hard time staying in one place. He’s very hard to find since he’s always moving and is never in the same place twice. Ever since he had first arrived at Khyper-Diorem 20,000 years ago, Unique has always moving, searching.
Unique is a necromancer. He isn’t evil despite his rather intimidating looks, quite the opposite in fact. He is very nice and could be a great help. That is, if you are lucky enough to find his current residence. Unique was always studying necromancy, always trying to find out everything he can on the subject. Hence, the reason he’s always traveling around Khyper-Diorem. He wants to learn as much as he can on the subject. Unlike others, to Unique, necromancy is more of another element then a source of evil and conquering.
However, this doesn’t stop Unique from making zombies. He has plenty. He uses any type of corpse as long as it’s dead. Some think he’s building a growing army, for so many different, equally ludicrous reasons, but he’s just experimenting in a way. He’s trying to learn all forms, ways, and existing information about necromancy. And for this, he needs material and corpses to perform on. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have what could be considered a small army in a place like the Khyper-Diorem. The place is dangerous to be in, borderline suicidal.
But, if you’re lucky enough to bump into Unique, he can be a very good source of information, and not just on necromancy. After traveling all over Khyper-Diorem, for nearly 20,000 years, Unique knows most roads, trails, and routes to get anywhere in the world. He also knows where to avoid the more dangerous places, the hunting grounds for creatures, and even some strategies that certain species use. However, he won’t give up this kind of information to just anybody. Unique is helpful, but he’s far from stupid. Getting his trust is equivalent to getting the closest thing to a cheat book that you could get in Khyper-Diorem.

To add on to being one of his kind, Unique is also very mysterious in his own way. No one really knows exactly what’s under the thick cloak that he wears. The cloaks itself seems magical, made from some type of leather and cloth. His shoulders are mostly covered by a thick metal of some kind and strings with brass rings connected to the ends. Their purpose is unclear, that is if they even have one. His pale face almost resembles the moonlight and his even paler eyes are very striking. They were a pale blue, but the color was so pale, not many noticed it. Unique always has the same two looks on his face; amused or very concentrating and focused.
His zombies are usually in the same form and condition as they were when they died. They are just a rotting corpse. However, even though they have been brought back they’re decaying process has not stopped, just merely slowed. They still decay and after a certain time, they become dust. This is another thing Unique is trying to change to make their reanimated bodies permanent and all decaying processes halted completely.
