My story's villain is Ethelred! He's a necromancer who decided to betray his student by using him as a sacrifice to extend his life. And he would have gotten away with it too it if weren't for those medd--oh wait not, his student just managed to get away, lol. Cassian, his student, ran away and only got a part of his life stolen, so now Ethelred's after him and the magic staff Cassian took. He needs them both complete the spell to extend his own life. Only Cassian kinda broke the staff and scattered the pieces.
Ethelred uses really morbid methods to go after Cassian, like making copies of himself using corpses, or just plain old corpse-puppets. He also brings people back from the dead. That kinda thing. Basically, he's willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to get his way and even use good 'ol emotional/mental torture.
Here's Ethelred. He's the creepy guy in the bone mask lurking ominously in the back.
Also, really love the art you have of Kursenima! The coloring on the first one is really nice and she looks cool in the second.
