# Soul Hunter
The process of draining a soul from a mortal creature has long been practiced, especially by evil necromancers and mystics that think tampering with someone's essence is a sure way to attain power. While they may be right in the short term, the process can sometimes go awry, leaving just the dregs of a soul inside a body. Not enough to have memories, or even a personality, but enough to know how to kill, and enough to know that it has been betrayed.

While these creatures can't communicate, and have little reason to, some have managed to negotiate with them and avoid being slaughtered, and even recruit them for an army. Only the most arrogant of emperors or warlords would do so, however, since their bloodlust outweighs and loyalty they might feel.

If you ever seek to gain off of the siphoning of souls, remember that you could have a soul hunter on your trail before too long.
