His star was in the ascendant for many decades until ambitious rivals began to usurp his power. In the crypts beneath castle Vermisace he had overcome the ancient Liche wizard and all his acolytes and was since known as The Lichemaster.

In the dark woods beyond the town of BГ¶genhafen in the western Empire, he had overcome the three Vampire Wizards of Blutwald and all their armies of walking dead. In the hills beyond Quenelles in Bretonnia his army had smashed the zombie legions of the Council of Nine, an alliance of nine powerful necromancers.

Kemmler became a great and much-feared Necromancer, plundering every Wizard's tower and ancient temple he could find in his search for dark truths. He plunged into the world of necromancy as a young man, and by the time he had reached his fortieth year he was able to raise entire graveyards of corpses to do his bidding. Having recognized the limits that mortality placed upon him in his early years, Kemmler made it his life's work to escape them. When going into battle he wields the Chaos Tomb Blade, and the Skull Staff, a potent magical artefact that chatters and gibbers constantly. He is shrouded in a large dark cloak that can carry its wearer across the veil between worlds. Beneath Kemmler's robes, his body is covered with scars, cuts and abrasions from his years of madness whilst his hair is long, filthy and white. He stands a little over 6 feet in height.
