Skorne The Death Overlord

Skorne is the movie's main antagonist and a necrotic villain. Skorne is a necrotic villain who first appeared in a flashback when the trio came across a wizard who gave them a warning them about him and his frozen silhouette is only present in an episode in Season 2. We don't see his full face until the middle of the movie. He is far much older than a normal human. According to Khyle Hightower, he was born around the dark ages and has ruled as a king since then.

The Legend of the Lord
It all goes back to the Dark Ages.

There lived a king who was so cruel and evil, The Gods even feared him. The Gods sent their greatest warrior, Eric to stop his tyranny. Confronting him is serious and risk taking business. It requires master stealth because he can hear footsteps from miles away. The battle was very violent but luckily, the evil king was magically sealed away deep into the dark triangle of the restricted area of the banished. Skorne patiently waits for someone who is foolish or curious enough to intrude his dark recesses of the catacomb and break his magical amber, setting him free.

How His Face Became Scary
Before Eric came to confront him, Skorne looked less intimidating, with the normal face of a Nord. During the battle, Eric was getting thrashed hard until he was punched towards a wall and Eric grabbed a blue fire torch and burned Skorne's lips off. Skorne's nose was skinned next, which caused him to bleed for years. After his nose, next was his eyelids, which were cut off by Eric's sword. The fight was bloody, but Eric became victorious and he holds high his prized trophy, two pieces of Skorne's bloody horns.

First Design
Skorne once had a simplistic appearance, looked less realistic and had a different robe and crown.Skorne was originally named "Vezdeau", but was too complicated to pronounce. His robes were green, different horns, a long nose and both lips were present. He had dark brown skin and his arms were very muscular. He once had a small amount of hair on his head, but was removed. He was also very large, like the size of a skyscraper.

Final Design
Skorne is very tall, standing at about 8'7". He wears a black robe with a little bit of armor around his chest. His arms are slightly muscular and hands that are elderly with long fingernails. His face is somewhat skeletal because he has pale, undead skin and he still has his ears, his eyes sockets have eyeballs and no eyelids and his eye brows are still on his face, he still has his nose, but it is skinned and his lips are burnt off, revealing a menacing face with all of his yellow teeth broken, but still on his gums. According to any feeling he has, his torn lips can change and show his matching facial expression. He looks slightly intimidating because of his rotting flesh in his body. His head consists of a pair of two, brown, bony horns and his robe has a hood and occasionally puts it on.

Powers/Abilities
Skorne knows a medley of unholy spells. He is also a necromancer of some sort because he attempts to revive his fallen warriors. With the strong power of his deep, youthful voice, he can control people to do his bidding and absolutely no escaping his evil grips. With his ancient staff, he can change his powers with the blink of an eye. If one of his minions don't obey his commands, he will quickly grip their neck and within a few seconds, they turn to an old, dried out skeleton and reduced to dust. Skorne possesses the bodies of hundreds to thousands of people at once. He also possesses great physical strength, able to carry a giant (from under the chin) off of the ground with ease. He is able to revive his fallen soldiers that he has lost centuries ago with his "revival chant", which he has been trying to find the last book and once his chant is complete, he will finally unleash his liches, warriors, and demons to reign all of Zanghai.

Personality
Skorne is very cruel and brutal. He adores watching chaos, his minions suffer greatly and most of all, DEATH. With his strong voice, he can easily intimidate people and often raises it (this means that he has anger issues because he gets irritated, angry and annoyed very easily). The only living things that he takes care of are his three dragons and his stone golem. He is a very merciless ruler and everytime he enters a room with his minions in it, he does not say anything. He just walks upon his throne and kill anyone who is at least an inch too close. He doesn't care who he kills, he just wants them out of his path. He is also very precise, which means when he wants his minions lined up in a specific spot.

Trivia

 * Skorne got his name from one of the main antagonists from Gauntlet:Dark Legacy.
 * His design is based off of The Horned King from the Disney film "The Black Cauldron, which is an adaption from the novel "The Book of Three", because of his horns and The Lich from Adventure Time, because of his absent lips.
 * Although he has the title of the "Death Overlord", he dies at the end of the movie.
 * He is very adept to hand-to-hand combat because of his massive physical strength.
 * He is one of the only characters with 5 digits (four fingers and a thumb) on each hand. And the most realistic looking character in the series.

SPOILER:His Death
Near the end of the movie, Skorne finally dies by his reliquary shattering on his sigil (located on his forehead) being reduced to dust very slowly, graphically and grotesquely. When the trio sees his remains, the pile of dust actually forms the symbols of reviving anybody and they were to speak their names and they will be resurrected. After the ones who were revived returns, the dust of the evil lord blows away dramatically in the wind, never to be seen again. His liches, warriors and demons die as well, by having their souls literally ripped out of their bodies and crumbles to bits and then being pulled back into the crypt before killing everyone on the planet. His evil soul is presumably dragged towards damnation.
