The Spellbinder
Death cannot hold that which magic commands...
And what death cannot hold is mine to control.
Death cannot hold that which magic commands...

Spellbinder had been working diligently on the spies, working with his live subject to get his puppets acting more lively, breathing, blinking, everything that was required for them to pass as alive. But always on the edge of his focus was death, off in some ruin or other, he knew the name but couldn't be bothered to remember. People who had known of his legend had called him a necromancer, but he was not just a necromancer, rather he was THE necromancer, the father of the twisted magic. Wherever there were dead and dying, he knew, he always knew, and now his gaze was drawn to the scuffle in the ruins, and the stench of potential death still hung heavy in the air. He couldn't resist, casting a spell he used only rarely, namely because the preparation was lengthy and required time he rarely had. But he had prepared three instances of it for situations such as this. He uttered a few words and cast a portion of his essence outwards, towards the shadows that lurked among the carnage. While he waited for the shadows to gather, he headed towards the main chamber of his tomb, relaxing on the throne that resided there, the same throne he had been bound in upon his demise. Then he turned his attention back to the shadows, back to the dead and dying, and to the promise of more.
The shadows in the midst of the gathered Black Company mercenaries and the strange boy began to writhe and shift, stretching, morphing and finally settling into a shadowy version of Spellbinder drifting in the midst of the gathered beings. The shadow shifted and stretched itself, as if just waking up from a long sleep as it gazed about. His voice emanated from it, though with an odd echo built in. "Oh? A pity, looks like the dying is done, and all that's left is the cleanup. Of course, I could arrange a bit more carnage, if you annoy me. But for now I'm content to watch." He turned to the dragon, who was obviously quite incensed, as well as powerful. He bowed deeply, it was truly an honor to be in the presence of a beast so rare that even he had only seen one in all his years. "So you are the dragon my Lady is so interested in, my my, so beautiful, and so powerful. Yes, I can see why you intrigue her so." With that he fell silent, the shadows gathering around him.
