"Well, a long time ago Umbra was a flesh and blood human. He was a curious man by nature, but the thing that plagued his curiosity the most was the lack of facts regarding the afterlife. Trying to figure out this unknown, be began to dabble in the necromantic arts. As the years went by his skills at necromancy grew but the answer the sought wasn't any closer, but his body was growing old and weak. Most necromancers by this point had acquired an undead body, but the thought of living in a rotting body didn't please him. This is when hr noticed how his shadow flickered in the fireplace, changing yet always returning to its original shape, an idea sparking in his head. Shadows needing to be cast from something, he bond both his soul and shadow to a 'Core' object that couldn't degrade as time went by. This is how Umbra's new form came to be, though there was some added benefits and drawbacks that came from this, but that is for another time."
