I like to write out backstories for my characters, mostly these characters could probably get lost in a crowd they are so uneventful. But with these Necromancer characters, Ive been really trying to create a character that just seems mysterious and unsettling. A character that leaves others uneasy with their presence.

The problem is, Im uncertain if there is any lore supporting what I want to do with this character. The character takes some very heavy inspiration from the Mountain (post-Trial by Combat) in Game of Thrones. A silent and imposing character. The twist being hes physically the opposite of the Mountain and what draws attention to him is that hes an Orc and hes obviously a Necromancer. Im just uncertain if there is any lore that supports the idea that someone can be raised from the dead in a similar manner as the Mountain and retain their faculties as well as perform complicated tasks expected of a living person.
