The Necromancer
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
The Necromancer is an undead demon that was sent by the Gods in the Halls of Judgment to aid Sethra Lavode and Her Majesty, Zerika the Fourth reestablish the Dragaeran Empire as well as defend Dragaera from the Jenoine. She chose to remain with Sethra thereafter.

[edit] History
The Necromancer comes from a place called the World of Seven Doors, and it is said that she "knows six of them...and she is not entirely unacquianted with the seventh," a fact that even astonishes several of the gods.
She appeared to have no name when she first manifested on Dragaera (or at least none that she cared to use in that plane), so she accepted the respectful title of "The Necromancer", given to her in admiration by Sethra the Younger, in honour of her unprecedented powerful facility with planes of existence and necromancy in general. (Earlier it is shown that the goddesses Verra and Moranthë are also extremely impressed with these abilities.)
[edit] Additional Notes
Among other planes that The Necromancer is comfortable with, she can appear to one who is Dreamwalking and hold normal conversations. She has also, at various times, reanimated armies of the dead, and opened and closed portals between the planes as a matter of course.
Her personality is rather geeky -- she has few social graces and tends to take every question absolutely literally. She has on at least one occasion made a big show of the gestures and incantations to close a portal, though it's not known if they were necessary, or just showing off. Verra admits that she herself isn't as fast at these things as The Necromancer is, so perhaps a little showing off is justified.
According to Vlad, The Necromancer is much more comfortable dealing with you if you are dead. This is likely why she gets along so well with Sethra Lavode. Vlad finds her creepy, though she seems to like him.
In appearance she looks vaguely like a Dragon, but with the typical pallor of an undead. Current place of residence, Dzur Mountain.
She also paints. One of her paintings, a wounded dragon protecting its young, hangs in Castle Black.
