AI Description

Remex – Soul Leech Capacitor. Level 1.

This is a Bereft Minion of Miss Quill

Have you ever played with a Ouija board and realized that speaking with a lost loved one just wasn’t doing it for you anymore? Perhaps you wanted to kick it up a notch? Maybe bring them back to life? And then maybe make them get a job? A Soul Leech Capacitor can do that for you.

These fragile, but physically strong undead creatures can only be created by a Necromancer or a Dark Cleric. The spell latches onto the most-loved soul of the spell’s target and yanks that creature back into existence. The resurrected spirit is forever attached to the loved one. But the Soul Leech is like a nick in the plane between life and death, and they exist in neither. A simple scratch from this beast will rip your soul straight from your body. That soul power is stored in the capacitor, allowing the Leech’s owner to access huge reserves of mana points. [1]

Appearance

On the 2nd Floor of Carl's crawl, Remex appeared to be a zombified, featherless Skyfowl. His eyes were black, swirling orbs. Hazy black smoke rose from the body. Ethereal, worm-like wisps swirled about the creature, like a parody of the full wings he once had. [1]

Story

Book 2

In this iteration of the Dungeon, Remex is the first husband of Miss Quill. [2]

He calls himself a "tenner", implying he made it to the tenth floor. He also tells Carl it is a good thing to die on floor three and not go further down.

Later Carl learned that Remex was an infamous user of the Zerzura Spell, using the spell to transport this army down each floor with him. This strategy ultimately lead to his ruin when it unexpectedly moved his army from the sixth to the ninth floor. Afterwards he devoted himself to trying to free his son, the exit deal he made was so unusual it was studied by legal students.

He was killed by an orc years ago. He was turned into a level one Soul Leach Capacitor by Miss Quill after dying, became a bereft minion after Quill died. In life he was a dark cleric.
