Amo Pesadilla was a recognised expert on the nature of death and held, as of 749 BC, the position of Undertaker of Il Aluk. His expertise led to a commission from Colonel Veneno the Kargat to create the Caskets of the Damned. Colonel Veneno also gave Amo the brass fittings for the coffin that were (unknown to Amo) forged of magical metals by Axrock, providing the caskets with necromantic properties.[1] It may be supposed that he was also a necromancer. Lending some support to this speculation is the fact that he remained in his post for at least 50 years.For in 697 BC he is described as being the chief undertaker of the city and as leading its fight against a tide of resurrectionists.[2] Whether he escaped or survived the the Requiem is unknown. He appears, however, to have either retired or died shortly before it, for at the moment of Il Aluk's death his former post was occupied by Marasyk Huzak.[3] Nonetheless, Pesadilla is counted as being among the current inhabitants of Il Aluk and the current inhabitants of Necropolis.
