Tormod

Tormod, the Desecrator, is a lich from the Dark Age on Dominaria.

History
During the time of the Dark, the city of Alsoor suffered from a series of grave robberies. The Church of Tal conducted an inquisition to determine who was responsible. The inquisitors traced the traffic in stolen corpses to an estate in the swampland east of the city. The estate, owned by a minor nobleman named Tormod, was guarded by a horde of the undead. The inquisitors encouraged a mob of peasants to storm the estate, and Tormod was hanging from a tree within a few hours. Some distant relatives living in Alsoor inherited the estate and interred Tormod in the extravagant crypt that his undead minions had constructed.

Some months later, the ghastly grave robberies resumed. The Church authorities returned to Tormod's estate to find it abandoned. They pried open the lid of Tormod's coffin, only to find the grave empty.
