The Lich (Dead By Daylight)

==Summary==
Vecna, also known as The Lich, is a Killer featured in Dead By Daylight.
Even as a young wizard, Vecna’s command of magic was matched by none. While others spent decades committing to and perfecting one school of magic, he effortlessly mastered each one of them. After his mother’s execution for witchcraft, his focus became obsession as he pored the most of his study into the darkest school of magic—necromancy, the magic of life and death.
As his power grew, so did his ambition. Over the centuries, he shed his mortal shell and ascended to lichdom. His power gave rise to a great empire, ruled over from his Rotted Tower.
Later, Vecna attempted to decipher an unknown language. This strange incantation was revealed to be a spell to enter the realm of the Entity. After resisting the Entity's pull for a short time, Vecna eventually willingly gave in and entered the Realm in hopes to learn and exploit its power.

Weaknesses: None notable. | Killers are servants of the Entity, making them more prone to preserve their prey first in an attempt to sacrifice them. The Red Stain is an indication of where killers are looking, making their line of sight more exploitable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Perks: For a full list of perks, see here.
* Flight of the Damned: Vecna sends forth five, flying, spectral skeletons. These injure those they hit. 
* Mage Hand: Vecna summons a large, spectral hand that can interact with the environment. This is mainly used to pick up dropped pallets and aid Vecna in a chase.
* Flight: Vecna flies higher and faster than usual, allowing him to bypass certain obstacles. 
* Dispelling Sphere: Vecna sends forth a large, invisible sphere. Those caught in the sphere will have their location revealed. This also nullifies the magical properties of magic items.
Note: While the Mark of Negation does weaken Vecna, WoG implies that the main effect of the Mark is limiting the spells that Vecna can use. It is unknown if Vecna's attack potency was weakened upon entering the Entity's Realm, or strengthened like most other Killers.
