|p=The technical term for a [[Necromancer]] who does not follow the Philosophy and is not [[Redeemed]] is [[Perverse]], regardless of loyalty to [[Jeihrem]]. You are correct that it is [[Philosophers of the Knife|Philosopher]] short-hand for "not Redeemed/Philosopher." This has judgmental connotations, obviously.

That said, Jeihrem has sort of made himself the elephant in the room politically among ex-Philosophers, and I think of it as the same way that it's possible to be a Philosopher while spitting at [[Zamidren|Book's]] feet. Technically possible, but politically fraught and possibly not wise.
