|p=''>>Of course who is to say the hounds of Rutilor didn't lie about the fate of Kigot? Wouldn't be the last time that the public face of an official entity hid failures by claiming victory.''

Heh, I was betting on the side how long it'd take someone to suggest that.

Some {{PRel|Necromancer}}s think {{PRel|Kigot}} is alive (or undead), while their peers put it on par with people who wouldn't give up Elvis. Critics point out two major flaws in this belief:

1: If he's alive... where is he? Kigot was not a quiet man -- the reason he was such a strange threat to the Temple was he couldn't shut up. In sharp contrast, no one can reliably claim to have seen him since his death. It would be wildly out of character for Kigot to simply sit somewhere quietly scheming instead of writing a tell-all book about what happened.

2: Given #1, even if Kigot survived... what's the point? Either Kigot is dead, or the experience left Kigot so scarred and changed that he is essentially not Kigot anymore. Either he's dead, or he's functionally dead.

However, I don't wish to protest overly much. It was written fully intending that Kigot could be spun off as a messiah figure with a few leaps of faith, so I'm not going to tell you it's a bad characterization. In the profound stress and religiosity of the Necromancers' life, it's entirely appropriate that some of them crack and desperately seek our their own brand of miracles.

''>>And what is the {{PRel|Old Man, The|Old Man}}, really?''

There's a man that I used to know 
And sometimes he still visits with me 
When it's late and the alcohol's glow 
Is nearly gone and it's time to awaken 
 
And he looks and he laughs at the sight 
And he asks what has happened to me 
And I blame it all on the lights 
But he smiles and says I'm mistaken 
 
And there is no use in disguising 
What the eye can so clearly see 
That I've spent my whole life denying 
That the man in the mirror is me 
 
... 
 
In a child-like illusion of life 
He imagined the things yet to be 
But they all disappeared on this night 
Carried on among the forsaken 
 
And there is no use in denying 
What the eye can so clearly see 
That one day I too will be dying 
And the man in the mirror agrees 

''>>I wonder if we'll find out more about what he is when the guild gets released.''

Nope. You can find out more about him during the Redemption quest, which will not be available at release.
