## Overview

The Necromancer, called Necro for short, lives up to his namesake and is one of the more powerful members of the B-Team. He often uses his skills to aid the team in gaining knowledge, finding individuals, and combating others through possession or black magic.

## Biography

Very little is known about Necro's past, or about him at all. It has been said, however, that he grew up somewhere in the UK, and that his parents worked for the local mortuary. From a young age, it would make sense that he would not only be comfortable with the concept of death, but that he would also be fascinated by it. Later in life, he worked as a mortician alongside his parents, gaining more knowledge on the affects death has on people, and observing how it emotionally and mentally affected the people surrounding them. He found death to be a simple, intriguing thing with no true reason to be feared. Just as sleeping is a natural part of life, death should be just as comfortable and just as commonplace in people's minds. As such, he was a bit confused by how people treat death with more care and respect than with life. He frequented the library, studying many ancient texts and historical works surrounding the concept of death. This introduced him to Sorcery and Black Magic.

### Sorcery and Necromancy

Having always been fascinated by what happens after one dies (besides the obvious), Necro attempted to find ways to summon and communicate with spirits from an afterlife. Being of alleged royal descent, Necro supposedly was granted ownership of the Windsor Castle in England, though it is speculated that he actually stole it in some fashion. There, he was able to better practice and refine his magic knowledge and rituals associated with it. He worked for about eight years before his first summoning spell was cast, proving much too effective. It was a spell that would grant the caster with the ability to see and speak to the dead whenever they such desired, which did work. However, when his mind is docile and open, such as when he sleeps or meditates, it acts as a gateway for all the souls to communicate with him. This makes sleeping extremely difficult for him, and it has bothered him ever since. After this, he studied other spells and ways of controlling magic, and started a small psychic business in the castle for the public. After a few more years of careful practice, he was soon able to master the art of levitation, possession, and spiritual manipulation.

### B-Team

Although preferring his isolation, it wasn't long before Necro gained word of this extraordinary team overseas working for the betterment of society. As ludicrous as it sounded, as well as being off-put by most of their backgrounds, Necro nevertheless took an interest in this group. He saw how they operated and who they usually targeted, and knew that he would be able to contribute much with his knowledge and abilities. He traveled to the US in late 2017, reaching out to them for an application. After being interviewed and demonstrating his talents, he was proudly accepted into the team. Although his DNA was not harvested for his clone, Y-Framer instead created an android in his image and with similar capabilities, even improving on others.

## Personality

Necro is a calm, reserved, and solitary individual. He can be very cynical and is usually very serious, especially towards his fellow teammates. Although not always admitting it, it is clear that he feels a sense of superiority and perhaps even a level of narcissism in relation to the other members. Though this tends to annoy the others, they can also understand that and even have a certain level of respect for the amount of dedication and effort he displays to his craft and cause. In combat, though, he is hyperfocused, often meditating to commune with the spirits and channel his magical energy. He loves to learn, and often reads fantasy or tragedy novels when alone. He also does not feel the need to always consider people's feelings, thinking that having them know the truth is more important than how they react to it. However, he is always very gentle and coordinated when someone is in turmoil or emotional crisis, as he has dealt with that sort of mental state before and knows how to navigate it.
