Unlike later blood-drunk revenants and shard-mutated aristocrats who adopted the title in imitation, Abartach predates the formalized taxonomy of undeath.

Born into staggering wealth and influence, Astor entered the Age of Collapse with resources unmatched by any private citizen of his time. As institutions fractured and governments faltered in the wake of the Meteor event, he did not retreat from the chaos. He studied it.

He is instead classified among the most dangerous of manifestations: a being born from desperation itself. He appears when invoked, though invocation rarely requires ritual.
