[h3][b][i][color=BDBDBD][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=BDBDBD]Myth / Legend: There is much to be said about The Tillerman. The wandering man with the strange skeletal bird who helps with those that are dying or who have died. Unlike most who have taken up the art of Necromancy, Mortimer has only used the magic for good. People are born, they live, they die, and they stay or they move on. To take that choice from the dead is a perversion of the natural order. Mortimer spent his life searching for those who pervert the way of life and stop them, one way or another. Luckily, the souls of those killed and not havested by these rogue Necromancers are happy to help Mortimer. Once he had done his part, he would move on to the next town/city/village, leaving people to wonder who the man was.

This cycle went on for years. Sometimes, Mortimer would be hailed as a friend, and others he would be shunned. Over and over and over and over. It was peaceful. There were a few moments that made his life interesting. The rise and fall of several liches. Some he helped overthrow, while others he watched from afar, taking notes on what happened as he prepared for the next rise of a lich. 

Soon, Something started to worry Mortimer. Slowly, too slow for those who lived normal lives to notices, signs that there was something wrong with The World started to appear. As he began to look into it, the more worried he got. Before he could research much more, he [i]died[/i] while he was sleeping.

[b][color=BDBDBD]Parents: Long forgotten morticians[/color][/b] 
[b][color=BDBDBD]Siblings: None[/color][/b] 
[b][color=BDBDBD]Childhood: Mortimer had always been fascinated by the dead. The macabre nature of his parents' job took away the horror that seeing the dead would bring to normal people. He was destined to be a mortician. As he learned under his mother and father, he began to notice that he could see the spirits of the dead. They wouldn't always be there, but for some of them, the spirits would linger with the bodies. They'd come, they'd go, and that was it. Sometimes they would stay. He tried to talk to the ones who stayed, but their answers barely reached his ears, whispers caught in the wind. It became his duty to help these spirits move on to whatever came after.[/color][/b] 
[b][color=BDBDBD]Adulthood: Once his parents had died, he helped their souls move on and began researching more on his abilities. He found a Necromancer that took him on as a understudy. Soon, Mortimer realized that the Necromancer didn't care for the souls of the people he bound to the bodies. When he confronted his master, he was set upon by all the undead that the Necromancer raised. He barely escaped with his life and dedicated himself to learning more about Necromancy and ridding the world of those who would abuse its magic. [/color][/b] 
[b][color=BDBDBD]Special Moments: When he bound the soul of a dead raven back to its body when he was young, then unbinding the soul to remove the rotting flesh of the bird years later. Discovering how to extend his lifespan.[/color][/b]
