Osarus Fleetholm

Osarus is a powerful necromancer. He lives in the ruins of Fleetholm, frequently venturing out to interfere secretly with the goings on of Umbara.

Osarus supports The Shield and the Council of Umbara. However, he is willing to do whatever it takes. He believes the threat of the Dragonborn and the rise of their gods is the biggest threat to Umbara, and is willing to do whatever it takes.

History
Fleetholm was once a prominent coastal town - a favoured resting place for sailors. Osarus was the second born son of the Mayor of Fleetholm, and a talented magician.

It was raided by Dragonborn and destroyed. His father and brother were killed. The Fleetholm survivors took refuge in Themis, but Osarus was sent to the Arcane College of New Anbar to foster his magical talents. As he grew older, he increasingly dabbled with Necromancy, and eventually left the college, returning the ruins of Fleetholm.

Necromancy isn't in itself frowned upon - it is often studied academically. However, Osarus was not trusted by the college, and he was willing to use the magic in ways deemed immoral.
