(You don't say?)

Magus was deep in thought, studying necromancy, trying to raise people so that they could keep their mind and skill, but not their free will.He would need a powerful subject.Two, in fact.A body and a soul.By combining a alien soul with a body, the soul would retain personality and skill, but with a new body.He would need a large, strong body and a powerful soul.This narrowed it down to a few people.A mercenary....Or maybe one of them stupid Nelthars?Building a citadel on the largest catacomb in Tamriel, inhabited by a powerful lich necromancer.Idiots.He had known Ultima II in person, in fact.Not for long, as he died soon after.Magus had wanted to raise him, but he couldn't find the body.He entered the shadow realm, and materilized outside the Citadel.Perhaps striking a deal would be best.

(BTW, Umbra's history ties in with Magus, you get a cookie if you guess.)
