The Ragman (also known as just Ragman) is one of Charnel's wizards skilled in the art of necromancy and also his former champion.

Biography

Rise and Fall

Some time before Sacrifice's campaign took place, the Ragman was Charnel's champion, even going as far as being known as the Lord of Terror. After failing to carry out the will of the unforgiving God of Slaughter, he was replaced by Acheron. As a punishment, the Ragman was chained to a rock in a cavern in Solis, where the dragons who lived there constantly tortured him. During his long imprisonment, he took control of the mind of the dragon matriarch Sirocco.

Unleashed Again

Using Sirocco's influence over the other dragons, the Ragman sowed chaos across the Glebe, most notably in Quorog, where the local farmer population was massacred by the infuriated dragons. After he was released by Charnel, and subsequently banished by the forces of James, he was given the fortress of Karn, as promised by the treaty between Pyro and Charnel, to use as an outpost for the forces of the new alliance against the Glebe. The Ragman was ultimately killed in the retaking of Karn, regardless of the god the player served. His actions since his releasement are even later renounced by Charnel, when he tried to ally himself with James, thus breaking his alliance with Pyro, the one that the Ragman so vividly represented in the eyes of the Yeomen and James.

Terror's Downfall

The Ragman certainly did not survive the campaign. He died in Karn, regardless of player's actions.

Name Etymology

The Ragman probably received his name from the DC Comics superhero of the same name.

Wizard Stats

For all of the missions he participates in, he shares the same values as any wizard, but his bonus stats vary from mission to mission:

• In Charnel's first mission he receives no added bonuses, probably because his participation in the mission is very limited.
• In James' second mission he receives bonus 25% to Melee Resistance.
• In James' fourth mission, the Ragman receives 25% bonus to Melee, Splash Ranged and Direct Ranged Resistance.

His color in those missions is always purple, representing his patron god, Charnel.
