Zaheri is the descendent of humans who embraced the path of the lich. But in their immortal lives, they were not idle in the affairs of the mortal kin. Working with others, they have spent centuries arranging marriages and subsequent offspring, the most promising of which are groomed for future lichhood themselves. Zaheri is a promising prospect. Born to unmarried parents, he was mostly raised by his father, as his mother embraced lichdom herself not long after he was born. Early on, his intelligence and affinity for magic marked Zaheri as a candidate for joining the ranks of the elites of Geb. This has ended up putting a strain on his relationship with his father, who does not want to see the son he loves embrace undeath, but in the land of Geb, this is normal.
