Yu, a goblin with a wizened face that belies his youthful age of thirty-two, is a figure shrouded in the tattered robes of a necromancer. His skin is a sickly green, stretched tight over his bony frame, and his eyes, a piercing yellow, seem to flicker with an inner flame that speaks of the dark arts he commands. Born into the squalor of the city's underbelly as an urchin, Yu's early life was marked by fear and desperation, a constant struggle for survival that left him quick to strike at any perceived threat. His unique quirk is a nervous habit of tapping his long, gnarled fingers against any surface, a rhythm that echoes the beat of his anxious heart.

Yu's ambition is to rise above his meager beginnings, to command respect and fear through the mastery of necromancy. He seeks power not just for its own sake, but as a shield against the world that has always sought to crush him. Yet, his path is fraught with obstacles; the magical community shuns him for his goblin heritage, and the resources he needs are hoarded by those who would never share them with one such as him. In response, Yu delves deeper into the forbidden arts, raising the dead to do his bidding and steal what he cannot obtain through legitimate means.

His strategy works, for a time. The undead serve him loyally, and his power grows, but so does the enmity of those around him. Eventually, his actions draw the attention of a powerful wizard who sees Yu not as a threat, but as a tool to be used and discarded. Yu's end comes not in a blaze of glory, but in the quiet despair of realizing he has traded one form of servitude for another. The conflicts in Yu's life are manifold: the struggle against poverty and prejudice, the moral quandary of using dark magic, and the ultimate betrayal by those he thought to manipulate.
