Harbinger of the Last Knell
Once, he was a noble knight, and no creature born of darkness could withstand his unwavering will.
But during the age of the Blood Heresy, fate led him to an ancient cult that worshipped the Defiled Bell—a cursed relic whose ominous toll promised eternal life at the price of damnation. The knight slaughtered the reapers, yet in his attempt to destroy the source of the corruption, he became the final sacrifice of their ritual. His body was torn apart, and his tortured soul was forever consumed by the accursed bell.
Millennia have passed since that day.
The relic was unearthed. A necromancer, driven by boundless pride, swore himself into the Bell’s service in exchange for its sacred knowledge. Following the will of his new master, he fashioned a grotesque mockery of a man: a mangled body crowned not with a head, but with the cursed bell itself.
Now, the muffled toll heralds his coming. And so long as the bell echoes from the darkness, he shall never know rest. His mutilated body will knit itself together time and again from the flesh of the fallen, and his march will never end.
