Chapter 539: Master Plan (Part 3)

"Four. You believe Ratpack?" He asked.

"Yes. From your description, she reminds me of an old friend of mine who passed away long ago." Lith nodded.

Then, to Zolgrish he asked: "How can he see ghosts? What kind of creature is Ratpack?"

"It would be nice if he could." The lich sighed.

"It would mean that at least he isn't a complete failure. Ratpack is a chimera, I made him by assembling the corpses of an elf child and a Balor. Then, I used necromancy to raise the corpse as a vampire.

"He was supposed to be the ultimate being. An immortal, natural shapeshifter vampire in perfect tune with the world energy like an elf, and with a Balor's Evil Eyes, capable of amplifying each of his spells.

"Instead he kept the build of the child and the inability to handle the world energy of the Balors. Becoming a vampire messed things up even more because neither elves nor Balors usually become undead. That's why Ratpack is Ratpack.
