Jacob Chaal

Jacob Chaal is a dark mage of great power and prestige; known troughout Fiore as one of the most successful Necromancers of the current timeline. While Jacob is rarely if ever seen. The populace which inhabits the remote villages close to the forest in which he supposedly makes his home certainly makes use of his looming presence in order to frighten their children to behave lest the dark mage comes and drags them, screaming and crying away to his dark keep to transform them into gibbering monstrosities.

There is of course very little truth in these claims, but the Necromancer himself is appeased by the results, as few people even dare to venture into the woods in fear of what he might do to them: and as such, the populace leaves him mostly at peace - something which he is highly content with.
