Hello Daggers!
Welcome to the Crimson CHOW (Character of the Week)! This is a biweekly challenge which was created as a way to hone your skills in design and character creation, in a fun and competitive way. Each challenge, we will give you a short character prompt and it is your task to interpret the character as you imagine it, with your own unique spin. The winner will be chosen through a poll in the finals thread, and in addition to being able to pick the next challenge topic, his/her piece will be featured in the "Crimson Champions" Winner's thread!
This topic is brought to you by the winner of CHOW #3, Lyraina

Your task: Design the Necromancer, wielder of the Necronomicon and summoner of the Cthulhu.
Guidelines:
Deadline is Sunday, November 2 @10pm GMT
