Kallious Ghowther
A dwarven necromancer living in Karlodar. He is an eccentric wizard who lives alone with animated skeletons of his friends and family (all with their consent of course), as well as his childhood dog, Rooty.
After experimenting with spells to transfer a soul from one body to another, he accidentally trapped his soul in a statue for months. His body decayed. He was eventually rescued by Kilara, Elena, Winter, Finnigan, and Asphodel, who helped him transfer his soul into the body of a rat.
In the time since meeting them, Kallious has rebuilt most of his house, raised his family again (repairing their bones with things lying around) and made himself a skeleton body to ride around inside its skull, like piloting a mecha.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Like all members of his family, his ultimate goal as a necromancer is to understand mortal bodies and death, so that one day, it may be overcome.
Social
Contacts & Relations
He is considered an eccentric and a social pariah in the city, despite being a powerful wizard, due to traditional dwarven views on honoring the dead and necromancy. He is not well liked or respected, and most people in the city want him to leave or stop practicing his magic. The leaders of the city have tried to get him to stop, but he has been very careful not to break any actual laws. At some point, the leaders of Karlodar tried to get Rodriega Showadon to get him to stop, but she was unsuccessful at convincing him as well.
Family Ties
The Ghowther family has been mastering their craft for generations, despite being social pariahs for it. They see their craft as one given to them by Muradin and not a heresy like so many others think.
A tradition of the Ghowther family is to have their bodies animated by later generations so they can continue to assist their descendants. Through this, they also honor their ancestors in their own way, despite most other dwarves finding it despicable.
Wealth & Financial state
Kallious lives in a sizable house in the lower part of the city, on one of the rotating disks that regularly gets access to the sunlight in the center shaft. He lives mostly off his family's wealth.
