Alderric Corvidus

Long ago I embraced the power of death. I do not fear it anymore. You, unfortunately, should.

Alderric is a lich, formerly an elven wizard. His bones are held together by ligaments and dark magic (mostly dark magic). He wears refined clothing as mage might, and wears a helm to cover his exposed skull.

Ruthless Alderric was exiled from his elven home for daring to read about a darker path of magic. Shrugging off the betrayal of his kind, he locked himself away with old books, pursuing the powers of life and death. Once he mastered the technique, Alderric dedicated himself to his obsession by making himself a lich. While he was performing the ritual his castle was raided, and he had to flee and find a new place to study. He came to the Black Tower ruins and met a female dragon, who allowed him to take up a wing for his work.

In general, Alderric doesn't pay much attention to the fiends of the castle; if they don't bother or mess up his rituals, then he doesn't mind them. He sees their potential as mercenaries and occasionally hires them out to bring back things he can't get within the castle.

-Alderric is skilled with necromancy (raising zombies, enfeebling spells) as well as basic forms of magic.
-He can speak elven, common, and some infernal dialects.
-Alderric's body is not invincible, but he can't be permanently murdered unless his phylactery is destroyed. Even if his body is shredded, he will recover in 2-3 days as long it remains in tact. And naturally, he tells no one what or where his phylactery is.

Once born to elven nobility, Alderric expressed interest in less than noble professions and was driven out. He bears no love for his own kind, or mostly any other person.
