Background: Once a young thayan noble of high hopes and grand expectations, he was inducted into the red wizards as a lowly apprentice. There he learned the way of spellcraft and its boons. He was amazed at the magical power held by the red wizards but none more so than that of necromancy, he viewed this above all others as the best way for his people to expand their borders into rashemen. He began to exclude all other studies in place of necromancy, the promises it held tempted him deeper and deeper into its dark secerets, night's turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and then years as he scryed the ancient libraries of lore searching for books containing the blasphemous writings.

His actions however were not pleasing to his teachers, after all a young student should study all magical laws until such a time as he can master a single one, however Cergos found this at best a distraction from his real study and knowing he would never rival the powers over death as Szass Tam without putting his soul and body into his work, he left.

In the dark of night Cergos creeped out from the acadamy, making sure he set off no wards of alarm and wanderd into the night heading east.


It was not for many years later he reappeared, much older and decrepid. An awful cough follows him, seemingly giving him no peace, nor rest.

He has learned much more than he would of been taught, a life long study into death and ways of cheating it, from seers in the east and shamans to the north. Infact his sources of learning are not only from wizards spell books but from all the magical and divine magic he could find. He believes that only through all aspects of magic can one truly understand necromancy, now his only goal is to beat that which wishes to claim him.

Cegor refuses to become a rotting corpse like the many which he now commands and has promised himself that one day, he will cheat death.

Goals: To cheat death and return to thay, pass on his knowledge and aid in the conquering of rashemen.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
He suffers from chroic bronchitus and his time is short unless he can find another way or a cure.

He follows any god who can promise him more power and carnal knowledge, he is hunted by his fellow reds and wishes to show them the errors of their ways. and embrace what he has learned.

He shows no pity to the dead or dieing, merley as tools at which to command to his bidding.
