Pugilis Obscuratus was Magister Osseum's most recent apprentice.
Osseum had hoped to overcome the lad's Diabolic Upbringing and Taint
of Evil, but doing this while teaching him to be a necromancer proved
to be beyond Osseum's power. The young lad named Klopec showed
Affinity for the arts of Perdo and Corporem, and, fresh out of
apprenticeship, could cast both Clenched Grasp of the Crushed
Heart and Veil of Invisibility; both were among his
Mastered Spells. (He had been hideously scarred by his parents when
young, and it was more difficult to say whether he was a more
disturbing presence when visible or invisible; certainly, he was a
better spellcaster when invisible (Special Circumstances). Certainly,
his hideous appearance (Pre -5) and Blatant Gift made it difficult for
him to deal with any but the most hardened folk.)
Klopec started out Infamous among the local peasants as a young necromancer,
building on his Master's Infamy, with a Discredited Lineage. By the time the
world outside Amurgsval had heard of him, he had amalgamated his disparate
Reputations into a single one at level 5, as a Necromancer. (Travelling
riding the shoulders of a giant zombie helped with this reputation, as
did his tendency to sound like Peter Lorre when speaking.)
Unfortunately, Klopec yielded to temptation by Infernal powers less than a
week after taking the Oath of the Order of Hermes and was brought back by
the other magi to stand trial as a diabolist in front of a special session of
the Tribunal of Thebes. He is now deceased, with Reputation 6: Diabolic
Necromancer.
