Ninetoes

Ninetoes, once a hobgoblin NPC, is now a wizard and, what's more, levelling up in his own adventure.
But what really sets the Adventurer apart from the other peoples of Adrenon, is his ability to make a Choice. Choose to fight; choose to live; choose to become.
Ninetoes has begun to unlock his truest potential and no longer fights alone, for Ninetoes is a Necromancer. But this dark power is shunned by most and makes his goal of returning as a hero to save his people all the more difficult to accomplish.

Whatever else might be true, Ninetoes will need more than animated servants if he's to fulfil his potential: he'll need allies and companions. In short, a Party.
