Various forms of unlife, including vampires and ghosts.
General[]
Undead are beings where the soul remains on the mortal plane after death, instead of entering the reincarnation process. The term is most commonly used about vampires, but there are also ghosts and possibly other forms of undead. Katerina Sorrow is undead, but of an otherwise unknown or unique type.[1]
Undead can be also be consciously created by binding the soul during a ritual murder or equivalent.[2] It is possible that the gargoyle automata are crafted in a similar process.
Necromancers are Practitioners who have the study of the undead as one of their specialties. The term seems to be most commonly associated with the hermetic Practice, but study of the undead might appear in other Practices as well.[3][4]
What appears to be a zombie is however a dead body animated by a ghul, and it is a relatively recent phenomenon.[5]
