Timeline
Mentioned by the Dragon as a possible powerful enemy who could be responsible for the intrusion into his lair.
Revealed to be Pisces's class, which significantly escalates his threat level in the eyes of the guards and marks him for capture or death.
Pisces reveals he holds levels in this forbidden class, which is the reason he is being hunted. The legacy of Az'kerash means that [Necromancers] are killed on sight in this region.
Mentioned by Erin as one of the unpleasant types of people she has had to deal with since arriving in this world.
The class is mentioned several times as a source of recent trouble for Liscor and a point of contention between Erin and Relc.
Quotes
“Typical Humans. Walking in here, stinking up the market, and insulting any non-Humans you find. You should be grateful the Guard doesn’t run you out of the city! First that damn [Necromancer] comes here, and now this smelly one that can’t even read.”
“Hey, I’m telling the truth here. Little Miss Human isn’t that bad. You should meet her. But let me tell you, she can also be pretty annoying. Remember that [Necromancer] guy I told you me and Klbkch tracked down? She wouldn’t let us kill him even after he blasted us both with a few spells. Just kept saying that he wasn’t that bad.”
“I really didn’t mean it. It’s just—[Necromancers], y’know? They’re dangerous. And it’s best to kill them on sight. You ever seen a thousand zombies trying to eat anything in sight? Even if they’re low-level, even if they play nice, I could never trust a [Necromancer].”
“We thought he was just an illusionist. That’s annoying, but really all he can do is scare folks into giving him things. But a necromancer’s worse. Far worse. We could let him go if he was just a normal [Mage], but we’ve got to find him now, and he knows it.”

Damn, I’m not going to be the one who let the next Az’kerash get away, Klb. We’re gonna have to hunt this guy down. If we can’t catch him today, I’ll have the Captain send out multiple patrols once we get back to the city. Erin, we have to go, but I think you’re safe if that guy didn’t do anything last time.”
