Death Knight
Some necromancers are content to sit in dusty tombs with moldering tomes, occasionally picking apart a battlefield for fresh ingredients and new company. By contrast, death knights are a predators among scavengers, seizing their goals through a melding of magic and traditional combat. Bolstered with dark energies and sturdy armor, the death knight wields a weapons edged with death itself. They are simultaneously the vanguard and general of their undead forces, unafraid of getting their hands dirty when necessary.
Overlord
There are few ambitions that capture the imagination more than the power to rule. From peasantry to nobility, many dream of a world in which they are in charge. Some necromancers, known as overlords, see their magic as a means to accomplish this pervasive dream. Seeking control both on and off the battlefield, overlords leverage their dark magic to bolster their allies and manipulate their foes.
Pale Master
When the need for superiority drives a necromancer, there is no end to their ambition. Such necromancers, known as pale masters, work feverishly to master every corner of necromantic magic, less out of the desire to improve themselves and more out of spite for their rivals. This perhaps speaks to a dirty secret of necromancy: most necromancers hate each other. Bitter rivalries, grudges, and insignificant slights motivate pale masters to embrace lichdom with unequaled fervor, for to master necromancy means to accept no equals.
