The necromancer was attempting to learn the secret of the Trisar and why they were so gifted in the arcane and divine. Ultimately, this curiosity was his downfall as he was brought before the Senate and executed publicly for his crimes. Since then necromancy has been outlawed by the Republic with no end in sight.
