Emmrich: The Necromancer

Emmrich, the human Tevinter mage, is giving “Dorian Pavus’ grandpa.” The mustache-sporting necromancer was also featured in the Tevinter Nights anthology in which he’s shown to be a master of the dark arts of life and death. He’s part of the Mourn Watch, a group that are essentially keepers and maintainers of the dead. He’s so skilled in resurrecting and controlling the dead that he has a skeleton assistant named Manfred.

Despite working with some scary magic, Emmrich is described as “serious about his duty to protect innocents from the occult.” His necromancy build includes:

Final Rites

Replenish

Entangling Spirits

The Bell Tolls

Time Slow

Emmrich’s concept art is one of the more straightforward ones of the group, but we do get to see a few alternate hairstyles, and it looks like his staff might have a moving skull on top. That’s in keeping with the necromancer theme, I suppose.

Call of Duty actor Nick Boraine will voice Emmrich, while Critical Role star Matthew Mercer will voice his skeleton assistant named Manfred. Both actors portray the duo in episode seven of Vows and Vengeance.
