History
Born into a coven of witches with ancestral roots tracing back to England, Sasha Blackwood was raised in New England, where she studied magic alongside her extended family. From an early age, Sasha displayed a keen interest in the mystic arts, but unlike her kin, she was drawn to the darker aspects—necromancy, the forbidden control over life and death.
Despite warnings from her coven, she left home to seek out other mystics, scouring the world for lost knowledge. Her travels led her to hidden libraries and ancient grimoires, where she uncovered the secrets of lichdom—a forbidden ritual that would grant her eternal life as one of the undead.
Returning to her modest apartment in Kings Row, Sasha prepared the ritual. As the final incantation left her lips, a wave of necrotic energy erupted, killing her instantly while spreading outward, raising the dead across the city. Paragon City's heroes rushed to contain the outbreak, sealing Kings Row behind War Walls and battling the hordes of undead. At the epicenter, they discovered Sasha’s lifeless body, an ancient grimoire, and a brass cage—her phylactery. Her body was taken to Crowne Memorial Hospital, while the phylactery was stored in MAGI's vaults.
But Sasha’s story did not end there. Less than a day later, she awakened in the morgue, transformed. Her body, cold and lifeless, no longer required breath or sustenance. The ritual had worked—she had become a lich. Yet something had gone awry. Searching for answers, she learned of the undead attack on Kings Row and the heroes’ intervention. She quickly realized that her phylactery had been taken by MAGI. Without it, she was vulnerable.
Determined to reclaim it, Sasha reached out with her newfound senses and pinpointed its location: City Hall. Under the cover of night, she summoned an undead horde to storm the MAGI vault. Though security forces and heroes resisted, she retrieved the brass cage and escaped. With her soul vessel secured, she knew she could not remain in Paragon City. Branded a villain and forsaken by her former coven, she fled to the Rogue Isles, where only the strong survived.
Setting up a lair in Potter’s Field, Sharkhead Isle, she built an army of the dead, carving out her domain. Her rise drew the attention of **Ghost Widow**, who saw potential in the young lich and took her under her spectral wing, teaching her the art of **Soul Mastery**. Now known as **Necromantrix**, Sasha Blackwood continues her pursuit of greater power, seeking to ascend beyond even the limitations of lichdom.
Powers & Abilities
Necromantrix is a powerful sorceress with vast control over death and the undead. Her abilities include:
Necromantic Mastery
Undead Summoning: Raises and commands hordes of zombies, skeletons, and specters to do her bidding.
Dark Empowerment: Can bestow enhanced powers upon her undead minions, making them formidable opponents.
Life Drain: Can drain the life force of her enemies, siphoning their energy to heal herself.
Dark Blast: A blast of Negative Energy that inflicts Necrotic damage upon physical contact, causing flesh to wither and decay.
Soul Mastery (Taught by Ghost Widow)
Soul Storm: Projects waves of soul energy to damage and weaken foes.
Dark Embrace: Can tap into the energy of the Netherworld to protect herself from damage.
Spirit Tentacles: Binds enemies with spectral bonds, immobilizing them while draining a persons life force.

Teleportation: Can transport herself across great distances through the nether realms.
Arcane Bolts: Fires blasts of eldritch energy from her hands.
Defensive Wards: Temporarily renders herself invulnerable using powerful protective spells.
Weaknesses
Phylactery Dependency: As a lich, her soul is anchored to her phylactery, hidden in a mausoleum on Sharkhead Isle. If destroyed, she will permanently cease to exist.
Divine & Holy Magic: Vulnerable to light-based or holy enchantments. Priests and exorcists pose a significant threat.
Cold, Emotionless State: As an undead being, she struggles to experience human emotions fully, making it difficult to form genuine relationships.
Personality & Motivations
Necromantrix is a highly intelligent and calculating individual, driven by an insatiable hunger for power and knowledge. While she retains a sliver of the person she once was, she is now cold, pragmatic, and entirely devoted to her necromantic pursuits. She views death as a transition rather than an end and believes she has transcended the mortal condition.
Her ultimate goal is **godhood**, seeking to ascend beyond even the limitations of lichdom. She sees the Rogue Isles as a stepping stone, using its criminal underbelly to expand her influence and knowledge. Despite her alliance with Ghost Widow, Necromantrix’s ambitions extend beyond Arachnos; she aims to forge her own undead empire.
