Festus Skin
Festus As'vezzal Skin
Festus Skin is a tiefling that has fooled around with necromancy. Festus originally came north to the Swamp of the Leech with a refugee caravan fleeing the Wastes. This caravan was raided nearly constantly as ir drew further north. The bitter desert that cut their numbers in half was but a precursor for the unflinching and Untamed wilderness they were to experience in the Swamp.
After a particularly nasty battle with a group of goblins in the southern forest, Festus used a tome that he stole from the forbidden vaults of their home-city's temple to attempt to raise their fallen comrades back to life. The magic brought these wretched souls back as rotting zombies at his command. His fellow refugees saw this act as extremely horrific and immoral and kept a close eye on him, and after witnessing a particular romantic act with one of the reanimated dead, they attempted to execute him. Festus fled into the woods.
In a tower of his own creation in the woods, Festus hid out. Hearing that a bounty had been placed on him by his former family and friends made him cautious and careful, but after many months he had began to take a breath. This would not last long however as someone would come to claim his bounty, Councilman Visk from the city of Frostbound. Visk stole the book from Visk and ripped his horn from his head to claim the bounty, but Festus did not die.
He was found, bleeding and nearly dead by Rahadin who was leading a group of undead to a source of powerful necromancy in the swamp, probably Festus' tower. They recognized his powerful magic and he was taken back ti Lady Sariel who used some of her own power to make a pact with Festus so that he may serve her, and in the process gain him his revenge.
