Background

Tarius was once the son of a noble family of Aerenal elves. His family, as well as the community surrounding him, regarded their dead ancestors as sacred and, in some cases, were able to use positive energy magic to bring back the spirits of ancestors deemed worthy. Tarius, however, was unable to grasp this form of magic. He spent months as a child, studying the magic, practicing the spells and rituals, to no avail. Unsure of what he was doing wrong, Tarius decided the only way to learn how to revive a spirit, was to learn how to destroy one. The next several years were spent in solitude, as Tarius performed experiments on woodland creatures, torturing them, leaving them dead or deformed. Yet he still could not grasp control of the magic! He needed a bigger subject for his experiments…
It was about this time that Tarius' uncle, Steve died of mysterious causes. Being an unremarkable man, the town elders decided not to waste their magic reviving his spirit. Tarius took this opportunity and snatched the body, taking it back to his workshop to experiment on it. Tarius performed many experiments, replacing blood with embalming fluid, removing the flesh off the bones, and reinforcing the skeletal structure using various magic components. It took several more months, but Tarius was finally prepared to perform the ritual, to bring the spirit of his Uncle Steve back from death. Just before performing the ritual, however, a thought popped into his head. What would happen if he performed the ritual… in reverse?
Tarius spent the next several hours rewriting the ritual… it all made sense now! He must have been doing it backwards all along! He began to perform the ritual, feeling power surging through him… he had never felt so… right. After completing the ritual, Tarius hurried to gather his family, as well as some of the community leaders. He brought them back to his lab, telling them what he had accomplished. The leaders were upset, as raising an ancestor without permission was strictly forbidden. They were on for a shock. Upon entering the laboratory, the skeletal form of Uncle Steve raised itself off the table it had been laying on, and moved towards Tarius, coming to stand behind his shoulder. Appalled, his father explained to Tarius that this was an abomination, a misuse of magic and a disgrace to Uncle Steve. Some other community members joined in, infuriating Tarius, who summoned up a wall of smoke and fled the town with his Uncle Steve.


Notes: Tarius is treated as being a 7HD creature for all effects related to hit dice, but is still a 3rd level Deathwalker, 3rd Level Cleric, with the 7th hit dice being that of his Gravetouched Ghoul template.
