Dieter Helsnicht

Dieter Helsnicht, Doom Lord of the Undead, was once a great and much feared wizard who was forced to flee from the city of Middenheim when it was discovered that he was a Necromancer. He built a secret fortress in the Forest of Shadows and concealed it so well that it was never discovered by the Witch Hunters who searched for him for years. There he slowly built up his strength and plotted his revenge.

After decades of preparation his evil plans reached fruition, and the Doom Lord marched forth at the head of a huge army of Undead creatures to attack Middenheim. Thus he intended to bring death to the city of his birth. After a long campaign and many victories he was finally stopped at the Battle of Beeckerhoven. The Doom Lord's body, however, was never found and it is commonly supposed on the back of the manticore he rides in battle.

As the Doom Lord, Dieter has an iron will and can bend even the most powerful creatures to his authority.
