Enticed by promises of renewed power, a skeleton fights with but one task, to gain strength, in preparation for a battle beyond his wildest imaginings.

In life, Xanthus was a powerful necromancer with undead servants to obey his every whim. In death, the tables have turned. His soul plucked from the Well of Souls by Zekant, a Lord of Pandemonium. He has been changed, deposited in the Spectral Arena as a monster gladiator.

He is reborn as a skeleton and given a new name, Tetraites.
