Caïphas of Aros

Caïphas of Aros (52 BTF - 7 BTF; 20 ATF - ...), sometimes known as Caïphas the Lich, is a necromancer cursed by un-death and a former mage of the Western-Lands kingdom of Lao-Sha. He is known as the archlich of the Cold Path and leader of the Dead's Oath and a prominent member of the modern Cabal. He is supposedly responsible for the atrocities that struck the Lao-Shi population in 151 ATF, when thousands of civilians were abducted and massacred across the kingdom in order to fill the rows of his Cold Legion.

Caïphas is an exceptionnaly cruel leader and despite lacking free-will as a lich, it is said he was an equally morbid individual in his lifetime. An immensely skilled spellcaster and necromancer, Caïphas is undoubtebly one of the most gifted magic-wielders of his time, alongside Kya-Esh, Sana-Thul and the late Sämägär.

As of 150 ATF, Caïphas was the sole leader of the Dead's Oath, and one of three highest ranking leaders of the Cabal alongside fellow lich-sorcerer Nessos the Cold.

Biography
Caïphas was born in Aros, Lao-Sha, in 52 BTF. The bastard son of a rich slave master and his whore who died in childbirth, Caïphas was raised in the shadow of his siblings as the runt of his prestigious and wealthy family. Disregarded, mocked and uncared for by those around him, Caïphas grew up as a bitter child who spent the most of his time in the streets of Aros, comitting petty crimes and eventually acquiring the reputation of local thief.
