Nil
A reclusive necromancer hidden beyond a cave guarded by giant worms.
Nil is a reclusive necromancer who lives beyond a cave protected by giant worms.
The Council's Nomination
Deus proposes Nil when The Divine Council orders Gord to assemble a force capable of pursuing Angra Mainyu. The recommendation identifies Nil as an unconventional specialist whose knowledge can contribute where ordinary martial or divine power is insufficient.
Unlike several candidates introduced through existing alliances, Nil begins outside Gord's known network.
The Hexbreakers
Nil's presence expands the team's capabilities beyond investigation, conventional combat, and divine intervention. The current record establishes the necromancer's membership and isolation but does not yet reveal Nil's birthplace, age, specific practices, or later role as the Hexbreakers gradually become the Black Forest Commandos.
Nil's first known appearance in the wider mythology is recorded in The Council's Call.
