Olias

Obsessed Necromancer "Grenth lives! You, on the other hand, must die!"

General
Olias is a Necromancer hero available in the Nightfall Campaign for characters from any campaign. Olias is the only hero that can be recruited in Tyria. He is a former White Mantle who, after a meeting in the Temple of the Ages, decided to serve as Grenth's executioner. He came to Elona to help fight the outcast god who's trying to rise again and who challenges Grenth's reign over the realms of the dead.


 * Origin: Tyrian (Lion's Arch)
 * Age: 32
 * Profession: Necromancer

Olias used to take his marching orders from the White Mantle, but he now walks his own path. An encounter at the Temple of Ages convinced Olias that he had been chosen for a special mission: he now serves as Grenth's personal "hand of judgment," enacting what he sees as the will of his god. He lives by a simple code. Those who perish and return to life are expected by Grenth to live their lives well. If they do not, Olias ensures they are returned to the cold embrace of the Lord of Death.

Mysterious events in Elona now compel him to act on Grenth's behalf. With strange disturbances in the land, Olias feels that the gods are threatened and the dead themselves are uneasy in their eternal sleep. He has sworn an oath to Grenth that he will find the source of the strange malady and correct it. And if it involves sending new minions to Grenth, so much the better! Death and killing delight him. He is willing to discuss other matters, but strangely enough, most discussions seem to lead back to death and killing.
