Herminicle Duperdas

Herminicle Duperdas was a novice mage from Heliogabalus in Damara who later became a lich.
==Description==
When he became a lich, he was described to be an emaciated, skeletal creature, covered in withered skin. He wore tattered black robes and had a rotted brown lipless face.
==History==
Herminicle was a middling wizard, whom many of his fellow students considered a novice.
However, the novice wizard came across a Zhengyian relic, a magical tome of creation. He eagerly read it, and the book consumed him, taking his life force. The book bound him to a tower, which was a construct of Zhengyi. The lich inhabited the construct, and was appointed as its caretaker.
In the , Jarlaxle and Artemis Entreri infiltrated the tower, and confronted the lich. Herminicle engaged the two sellswords in battle, shooting green bolts of energy from his bony fingers at them. The lich's unlife was dependent on a conduit: a skull-shaped artifact inside the original tome that bound his life force to the Zhengyian construct. On Jarlaxle's command, Entreri grabbed the skull gem with the gauntlet that accompanied the sword known as Charon's Claw, eventually breaking the conduit and causing the tower to collapse. As a result, Herminicle was defeated.
