The Necrofessor

## History

The Necrofessor has no known records or origin that can be documented. His presence across the Multiverse has polluted several time streams in that references to him seem to appear in ancient wall art and in the writings of long dead kings. Believed to be mortal or at least once mortal (No one is quite sure what he is frankly), the Necrofessor shows no signs of a native culture or ethnicity. Any traces of where he came from has long since been erased by the existence he now knows. He is believed to posses some form of regenerative process allowing him to replace his body should it be destroyed however how he accomplishes this is yet to be determined

#### Rumors of a Madman

Shortly before the start of the Multiverse War there were rumors of a mischievous plague doctor who had found a mastery of the line between life and death. Necromancy is nothing new to the Multiverse but the morbid curiosity combined with malevolent whimsy exhibited caught the attention of observers.

#### The Multiverse War

The confusion and chaos of a war across time and space using the implements of mad science run amok was the perfect play ground for the Necrofessor. Through the conflict there were multiple horrors and calamities attributed to his mad genius. Some of the note worthy incidents include:

-The Flatulence Plague of Reality A-10

-The construction of a fully automatized factory operated with Undead severed orphan fingers

-A unique form of zombie that can walk on ceilings when music is playing

-Stealing the power of the Soul Forge

-Beating the Avatar of Death at a game Go Fish

It is not known if all of these are true or if they were perpetrated by the Necrofessor alone. He collaborates when it suits his whim and will abandon projects out what appears to be a sense of boredom should another curiosity draw his attention. What is known is that the Necrofessor favored no faction of cause in the Multiverse War but instead merely used it as the background noise to augment his mad genius.

#### The Theocracy

As the War came to a close with the collapsing of the Dark Order, several villains and those they did business with speculated that the reborn and empowered Arcane Theocracy would sue for peace with the Grand Alliance. Many atrocities and villainous schemes had played out under the banner of the Dark Order. It was widely believed that those that did not kiss the ring of Theocracy would be left without defense or protection from Alliance retribution following the War. The sitting Council Emperor Maximillian the 1st was conducting a tour of the C-Sphere encouraging villainous entities to join with the ascendant Theocracy when he discovered the Necrofessor collecting "samples" from an area cemetery. The Emperor was intrigued and amused by the odd plague doctor and spent two days querying him on a variety of subjects. At the end of the two days Emperor Maximillian presented the Necrofessor with papers recognizing him as the seat of Temperance on the Council of 21. Shortly thereafter Emperor Maximillian died in the Endeavor Incident, so while the seat was awarded as he wished no one ever had an opportunity to discover what his motivation was in recognizing such a chaotic madman.

#### **The Temperance Seat**

The Temperance seat is held by The Necrofessor. An odd choice in the minds of many Villains but he was placed by the old Emperor just before he perished in a freak disaster. The Necrofessor experiments regularly with the line between life and death and is considered an eccentric in the field of Necromancy. While he certainly doesn’t consider himself a villain or seek to do evil his exploits land him in the Villain column as they often lack morality or even a purpose other than his own morbid curiosity.

## Personality

The Necofessor is at first appearance a jester, someone who plays at being a necromancer. This is a grave miscalculation. While appearing whimsical in manner and voice the Necrofessor is also carefree and flippant about life and death. While he has shown attachment to specific people and objects his attitude towards most life in the Multiverse is one of a small child picking a toy to break.

## Known Agenda

The Necrofessor has no known agenda that anyone can discern. While shunning the lime light for years he has suddenly made recent appearances at public events which has grown his legend and ability to gain access to other villainous circles. Some believe he is in search of a particular piece of information or a hidden faction who has taken interest in him but truthy no one can fathom the agenda of the Necrofessor, not even himself.
