Necromancers are magical beings with the ability to perform Necromancy, a branch of divination centered on the dead. It is likely that these beings have existed since the beginning of time.
History[]
Necromancy was considered the darkest of magics by magical authorities, such as the Elders, as some Necromancers are known to consult with demons.
An unknown number of years ago, a Necromancer named Knansie made a deal with an unknown demon. This demon granted her eternal youth in exchange for her using demonic blood during her resurrection rituals. However, this pact had a strange condition (she had no right to attack other demons or half-demons under any circumstances; otherwise, the deal would be terminated). She agreed to this condition.
Sometime prior to 1990, Knansie was imprisoned in Tartarus. She was eventually broken out by Marisol Vera, who needed Knansie to revive her and Dexter Vaughn's stillborn daughter Macy. Knansie warned Marisol that death would require some sort of price in order to perform the ritual, but Marisol didn't care. When Knansie finished the ritual, she told them the price: they would be able to spend the next two years together, but then Macy and Marisol would have to be separated for if Marisol ever laid eyes on Macy, Marisol would die. Without any other choice, they followed this demand.
Eight years after Macy's resurrection, Knansie made a deal with another witch named Cyd, who asked her to bring back her mortal boyfriend. Cyd eventually realized the real cost of Knansie's resurrection ritual, when her boyfriend turned demonic afterward and she was forced to vanquish him. Knansie laid low with a concealment spell for the next two decades. At some point, Knansie began working at Handy Dandy Snacks and continued to prey on vulnerable people, bringing back their dead loved ones to create more demons, while looking to the rest of the world as a simple cashier.
In January 2019, when Macy learned that she had been resurrected, she used a ritual to summon Knansie, which disrupted the Necromancer's concealment spell, allowing Cyd to locate her. When Cyd finally revealed the Necromancer's deception to Macy, Maggie Vera and Parker Caine, Knansie tried to escape. Parker was able to stop her, and in trying to get rid of him, she hit him in his face with a hammer. This blow didn't hurt him in any way, as he used his power. Knansie realized, to her horror, that she had attacked a member of a demonic bloodline, but it was too late, and her demonic pact had been terminated. She began to whither away, while pleading for a second chance until, with a scream, she crumbled to ashes.
During early May of 2019, TBA.
