Necrophos Lore & Background Story

Rotund'jere was once a humble healer who became obsessed with the boundary between life and death. His experiments twisted him into a creature that thrives on pestilence. He walks the battlefield spreading disease — not out of malice, but out of a grotesque scientific curiosity. His obsession mirrors that of Pugna, who consumes life force with the same academic detachment — two scholars of death approaching the same question from opposite ends.
