Name:Krauser Dravenholm
Age:??
Race:Human
Physical Description:Krauser is lean and athletic, with a pale complexion, long brown hair, piercing brown eyes, and longer than average nose. He also sports a goatee and mustache. He has only ever been seen wearing black dress clothes with a red vest.
Personality: Krauser is often morose and aloof. However, he can be very unstable, and has bad temper. This being said, he is well behaved and charming when he tries to be. Though he has little value for life and has no qualms with playing dirty, Krauser is by no means a bad person, simply desperate to reach his goal.
History: Krauser had once lived all his life on a farm. He was always quite academic, as his father pushed him to become more than just a farmer. However, when his father passed away, Krauser took it upon himself to care for his only living relative, his sister, Marguerite. He had always been very fond and protective of her, so when she passed away from leukemia, Krauser found it very hard to accept. He spent a great deal of time looking into religion, philosophy, and medicine, searching for a way to bring back his beloved sister. Finally, he came upon an old, battered book, hidden and barred away in the cellar of his churches library. Here, in the gloom and dust, Krauser found the glimmer of hope he had been searching for. It was a book on Necromancy. After much studying, Krauser discovered that he would need to be able to use magic for any of the rituals in the book to work. Without considering the consequences, Krauser followed the book's instructions, and bartered away his soul in return for the power to wield Necromancy. Reveling in his new found power, he went to the grave site of his family, eager to once again embrace them, but this was not to be. As soon as he raised his sister, he realized his foolishness. Necromancy could not bring the dead back to life, only give a mockery of life to the dead. Now, Krauser wanders the world, searching for a way to restore his soul, and his sister, whose corpse follows him wherever he goes. He has been wondering for about 100 years now.
Equip: His book of necromancy and the clothes on his back. Marguerite's corpse is armed with a rapier and her burial dress.
Strengths: Having lived over a century, Krauser has had plenty of time to perfect his necromantic arts and has had a great deal of experience. He is very intelligent and academic. He also reads people very well, and knows how to charm his way in and out of situations. In addition, he is accompanied by his sister, who is a puppet to his will. She is an extension of his own mind and functions when mentally commanded in the exact fashion he commands. She cannot be killed, but can be destroyed, or simply broken to the point of uselessness.
Weaknesses: Krauser is no warrior. Though he has knowledge of fencing, it was for recreational purposes. Krauser also has a tendency to become unstable if he finds a problem he cannot solve through logic or force, and this tends to either excite his temper or even stop him dead in his tracks. He is also very conscious and protective of his sister's shell. He also guards his book of necromancy obsessively, as it's destruction would kill him. Though he can be destroyed in the normal fashion (IE Sword through the chest, broken spine, ect.), burning a book tends to be a lot less trouble.
