The Necromancer
Power over death itself, this is the creed of the Necromancer. To be able to wield magic in such a manor that corpses are returned to living status, or undead creatures are driven away with a mere gesture. This is the power that a Necromancer commands.
Characteristics:
Dark and brooding by nature a Necromancer is most often a loner. Patiently studying ancient forbidden arts to further their own dark purposes. Necromancers reveal in the opportunities they get to showcase their talents in front of an audience, grandstanding at times to gloat and show their "superiority" over others.
Alignment:
Most often, Necromancers choose Chaotic or Evil since their abilities and chosen lifestyle isn't naturally "accepted" by the majority of civilizations.
Religion:
Magic users commonly revere Boccob, god of magic. Some, especially necromancers or simply more misanthropic wizards, prefer Wee Jas, goddess of magic and death. Evil necromancers are known to worship Nerull, god of death.

Humans, Elves, Yuan-Ti, and Half-Dragons.
