Thelyron Hashnitor is a long dead necromancer and former commander of the Council of Seven[1] residing in Cyseal in 4 AR and then the Aleroth catacombs in 1218 AD.

Background[]

Historically, Thelyron is a necromancer who was known to experiment not on only on animals, but humans as well. It has been said he has a good sense of humour,[2] however he can also be ruthless when he has been betrayed.[3]

First known to be a healer in Cyseal in 4 AR, Thelyron was a necromancer and member of the Immaculates. He was responsible for the plague around Cyseal and the first user of the Blood Stone, alongside his apprentice, Evelyn. In exchange for the resurrection of his wife, Malia, he agreed to help revive the Sourcerer king, Braccus Rex. As a result he was left for near dead beneath the Church to the Seven.

Thelyron first arrived in Aleroth c. 1200 AD when it was being constructed, and after having his ideas on immortality denounced in 1207 AD,[4] in the belief that the healers were jealous and plotting against him he relocated to the catacombs below the village. Around this time he struck a deal with Mardaneus[5] in which the pair shared a mind whilst he awaited revival, slowly driving Mardaneus mad. Thelyron's distrust of Mardaneus was as such that he possessed the mind of Aleroth's leader to ensure that the deal would be maintained.

Beneath Aleroth, Thelyron rose those that followed him in living to serve him in death; building a skeleton army, which he continued to expand long after his passing, by employing graverobbers to bring him additional corpses.[6] This reanimation work was part of a grander scheme to secure his own immortality; constructing a machine to enable his own resurrection, to be operated by his undead servants after his own passing. Something went wrong whilst awaiting his resurrection and the necromancer used the insurance he embedded in Mardaneus to reach out to the world of the living, driving Mardaneus mad in the process.

Lucian, sent down into the catacombs by Lanilor, discovered the source of the problem: one of the skeletons operating it had been crushed by fallen rubble. Pulling the lever in the skeleton's place, Thelyron was resurrected, and Mardaneus' mind was cleared. However, Thelyron felt pain, something of which he believed he and his followers would not have to face in death and accepted this outcome as a fate worse than death. Lucian, at the necromancer's request took life from Thelyron and his followers for a second time (with a little assistance from the now sane Mardaneus) and laid them to eternal rest.

When Lucian ressurrects him he begs the former to kill him because the pain of undeath is unbearable.
