**The Necromancer** is a witch who made his debut in the sixth episode of the first season of *Legacies* and a secondary antagonist of the second season. He was once the world-renowned necromancer, whose name alone caused people to tremble. His legacy, however, was essentially reduced to "barely a footnote" for a brand of sorcery, the practice of necromancy, when he was erased by Malivore. After he completed his objective, to return the supernatural knife to Malivore, he was released to find peace. Instead, he was sent to Texas as a chance to start over, a life well-lived and eventually find peace. However, he was not content with this and reclaimed his birthright for magic — Necromancy.

## Early History

Before the 1920s, he had frequented Rousseau's and had known Stefan Salvatore, who he had stated to be good for his business.

In 1944, he was in Normandy and resurrected a few soldiers on the beach, and killed Nazis while doing so. He was then stabbed in the heart by an unknown person and ended up in the darkness.

## Personality

He is menacing and shows little to no care for what happens to the zombies he raises or the people that are put in danger in getting what he wants. He shows some arrogance towards his occupation as he thought that Alaric and Dorian would tremble in fear at the mere mention of his name. He is what Alaric has called a "diva" considering he wasn't providing answers about the knife or anything else. He was also shown to have a morbid sense of humor, very dramatic and had a tendency to repeat himself.

## Physical Appearance

He wears dark colored clothing with a silver like brooch near the top of his collar or tie. He has a grotesque appearance, with yellow to rotting teeth and translucent light blue eyes. He bears what he calls the "mark of the underworld" across his face, it hooks around his cheek that spans up to his forehead and back down the opposite cheek. His pale skin seems rotted, and has dark brown hair slicked upwards.

## Powers and Abilities

The Necromancer possesses all the standard powers and abilities of a witch. However, he uniquely possessed the ability to see, communicate with, summon and raise the dead. More specifically, he can summon spirits, even from peace, and resurrect them in their bodies or to raise corpses, thereby creating "zombies", as coined by MG, in small masses to do his bidding. The resurrected people retain the memories they had before their lives ended; however, he is able to assume control over their minds and caused them to commit feral deeds for his own personal gain. The Necromancer also stated that death cannot hold him, though this statement remains unexplored. He is world-renowned in dark sorcery, and has a particular penchant for necromancy. While he has an extraordinary ability to raise the dead he can technically only raise a spirit to life if the spirit or the host is willing, though he’s never had a soul been so stubborn as to refuse his gracious offer to return to the realm of the living.

## Weaknesses

The Necromancer has the typical weaknesses of a witch.
