Linzel

Linzel (a.k.a. The Necromancer)

Linzel, The Necromancer, is a powerful and malevolent demon who reigns over the Necropolis, on the 888th level of the Endless Abyss. She is a shadowy and enigmatic figure, with a reputation for great power and cunning. Despite her youth, Linzel is said to appear pale, gaunt, and otherworldly, with large, dark eyes and elongated extremities. Her fingers are said to be like bones, but she wears enchanted black leather gloves that are said to have been a gift from ThannahT the Mirrored Twin.
Linzel is a being of great methodical calculation, always seeking to increase her power and influence. It is believed that she is building an undead army of demons, with the goal of spreading her power throughout the Endless Abyss, the Material Planes, or possibly even the Hells themselves. She is a master of the dark arts, able to raise and control the dead, and to bend them to her will. Those who dare to cross her do so at their own peril, for Linzel is a relentless and unforgiving foe, who will stop at nothing to see her enemies crushed.
Despite her fearsome reputation, Linzel is not without her own vulnerabilities. She is a solitary and reclusive figure, who is said to have few friends or allies. Those who can find a way to appeal to her ambition or curiosity might just find a way to survive in her shadowy domain. But they had better be prepared to pay a steep price for their knowledge, for Linzel is a being who does not give up her secrets lightly.

The skull is surrounded by swirling, ghostly tendrils that seem to twist and writhe, as if seeking to escape the confines of the sigil itself. The overall effect is one of power and darkness, as if the very essence of death and decay has been captured and contained within the symbol.
