Neshamah

Character from A Practical Guide to Evil by ErraticErrata

The Dead King — an undead god-king who has ruled Keter for centuries, commanded armies of corpses and enslaved Named as Revenants, and treated millennia the way others treat lunch breaks. The final enemy.

Also known as: Dead King, Neshamah, King of the Dead

What They Know

• Aspects: Raise (creates undead and Revenants), Reign (absolute control over undead and devils — can rip away other controllers' authority), Return (resurrects as long as his phylactery exists)
• Commands Revenants — undead Named with intact powers and memories. His ten Scourges are purpose-built to kill other Named
• Keter has withstood five crusades — poisonous miasma, corpse-filled waters, centuries of fortification refinement
• His phylactery was powered by Calernia's deep belief that he cannot be killed — a narrative defense that required a narrative solution
• Defeated by Catherine's Sentence and Hanno's Undo working in combination — the Warden and the White Knight ending what crusades couldn't
