Apocalypse Archived II: Resurrection

The **Necromancer,** also known as **Trent Summers,** was the secondary antagonist of *Apocalypse Archived* and the primary antagonist of *Apocalypse Archived II: Resurrection*. He introduces himself in Chapter 7, or February 21, 1985 of the first book, when he resurrects deceased George Rhyland as a mutant zombie with abnormal powers compared to a human's. The Necromancer has the ability to resurrect deceased human beings or animals into zombified versions of themselves and mind control them into attacking or finding certain individuals.

## Part in the First Zombie-OCA War

On February 23, 1985, after giving the zombies abnormal powers with immense speed and thermal vision to locate humans, he finds the underground OCA base. Colonel Olivia Banks, who notices this beforehand using the spyglass, announces that they will engage in field combat in an attempt to destroy the zombies, the Necromancer, and the mutant.

The Necromancer, flying above the fighting zombies and OCA, notices Trudy Esile and Damien Summers attempting to desert the war. The Necromancer abruptly stops them, then teleports mutant George Rhyland in an attempt to kill them, but witnesses the agents annihilate the mutant. The Necromancer gives the two his respect for defeating a mutated human who was already super strong before his resurrection, then leaves them be.

### **Minnesota's Destruction**

In 1985, shortly after the First Zombie-OCA War concluded, the Necromancer blew up the state of Minnesota just days after most of the OCA fled. Minnesota turned into nothing, and so the Necromancer managed to use his powers to detect the Bloodhound Mercenaries operating in New Jersey.

### **Infiltration of the BM Hawthorne Base**

On August 30, 1990, the Necromancer tricked Avery Davies into allowing him to enter the Bloodhound Mercenaries Hawthorne Base, which allowed him to wreak havoc in the building. The Necromancer killed off a few agents before engaging in combat with members of the squad, however nobody sustained major wounds. Olivia Banks decided to attempt to distract the Necromancer, which allowed the members of the squad to make a quick getaway along with isolating civilians and agents. Olivia Banks would soon be murdered by the Necromancer for distracting him.

### **Resurrecting Jack the Lumberjack**

After the Necromancer followed the Bloodhound Mercenaries to their newest runaway hideout to Wilmington, Delaware, the Necromancer found a lone lumberjack cutting down trees in the woods. The Necromancer murdered the lumberjack before resurrecting him into an Undead Axeman, which gave the lumberjack the ability to throw hunting hatchets with near precise aim. The Undead Axeman managed to strike off another close member to the Bloodhound Mercenaries, which was Avery's mother, Jessica Davies.

### **The Final Confrontation**

After the group was tipped off by Tundra, the group found that the Necromancer was going to execute his grand finale at the Wilmington Christian Church, where the Necromancer would manipulate music to destroy the state of Delaware. The Mercenaries showed up just in time and engaged in battle with the Necromancer. The Necromancer used the church's organ and struck the chords to summon zombies with amplified speed and strength to take on the Mercenaries. From time to time, the Necromancer would jump off of the organ and engage in physical combat with the Mercenaries. It wouldn't be long before the Necromancer is killed by Tundra. Before his death, he reveals himself to be Trent Summers, one of the founding members of the OCA, and also Damien's father.
