"Once a Sherif of the Seven Cities, Merikh remained a stern agent of the law after being turned into an Undead by Archon Belketh himself. It was Merikh who presided over the trial of the nefarious Nethermancer Sandro, banishing him from the Wizard lands. When Sandro returned, some sixty years later, he had not forgotten Merikh's role in his exile, and perpetrated his revenge by trapping his soul within a ghoul's body. It took Belketh several years and a great amount of power to track down the creature and salvage Merikh's essence, binding it to a more appropriate vessel: a black suit of armour. Relentless, unbendable and incorruptible, Merikh has become a terrifying embodiment of Justice."

"Born the daughter of the Duke of Bull, Ludmilla found from a young age that the politics of court were about as volatile and world-changing as a mouse's wind. Instinctively grasping for a surer, faster form of power, Ludmilla found herself living a secret life as she fell in with a den of Necromancers who had great plans for the future. When one of their number, a lascivious Vampire, became her lover, she took to wearing a studded collar as a coded symbol of her blossoming rebellion - that or to cover the bite marks. It was only a matter of time before she took the ritual, and became a Vampire herself. Immortality is such a boon when you're a power-hungry sybarite."

"Once, Ariana was a Necromancer, but seduced by the power of the Void, she betrayed the cult of the Spider Queen and struck a deal with the Netherlord Sandro. She shares Sandro's goal of destroying all of creation, though she never truly understood his motivations and how dangerous the Void really is. Above all, she is attracted by the tremendous powers the Void offers to those who embrace it. She has met Vein before, though the magic of the Void has a tendency to distort memories. She is cold, calculating, and constantly drunk with her Void-fuelled powers."
