William Hare and his partener William Burke were leading resurrectionists in Il Aluk in the period dating to 697 BC. They robbed the city's graveyards of cadavers and sold these to the School of Medicine of the University of Il Aluk, to the underground and illegal Ecole du Mots Mortes, to necromancers, to necrologoists, to biologists, and to butchers.
Eventually, the pair of criminals began supplementing their salable inventory with the cadavers of those whom they took to murdering. One of the victims turned out to be Grumman Knox. He was the nephew of Professor Robert Knox who headed the School Medicine. When the cadaver of the young Knox was offered to his uncle, the latter calmly purchased it, and proceeded to report Burke and Hare to the authorities. Before the pair could be arrested, they learnt that they had been betrayed by their long-standing business partener and broked in the the home of the older Knox and murdered him. Burke and Hare were arrested immediately thereafter and condemned in short order for their crimes. They were executed by being hung by their necks until dead. Unfortunately, the ghoulish pair survived death, rose as ghouls, and escaped the scene of their execution.
