Disposition:
Extremely evil being who enjoys dominating all around them and loves destruction. In his heart, he wishes to either dominate or destroy the whole world. He has a love for all things dead or undead including vampires and animated dead. The dead, especially those he animates himself, are the only thing he consider truly loyal. As a result, he has created an army of the animated dead including zombies and mummies. Still, he will use any ally who appears to help him towards his goals. Of course, he sees nothing with betraying them later. Loyalty and honor mean absolutely nothing to him except maybe concepts to take advantage of.
Death in general is something which is one of his true pleasures, enjoying killing and quite often bringing them back as his undead servants. He also enjoys torturing and maiming those around especially those who are beautiful including such as elves. Bringing back a beautiful elf as a ruined zombie to him is something of pleasure. He loves the dead so much that eh had himself bio-wizard augmented to look like something of the dead. There are no races he really likes, even other Ogres. There is the suggestion that he was kicked from his tribe because of violence.
He hates the light of day and sunlight in general. While he has some ability to use some modern weapons, he is not a big fan of technology in general and uses it minimally.

Background:

Basically, nothing is really known about his early history. There is some speculations and it seems most likely that he is from a tribe of Ogres from somewhere in Europe. There are several known tribes, some which have close associations with Gargoyles and the servants of Atlantis. His skill with an axe might indicate that he was trained in the way of a warrior.

It is most likely that somewhere along the line he was kicked from his tribe. Ogres are generally not the nicest creatures but even they need to be able to work as a group. His love of carnage and killing surpasses anything which is normal among Ogres. As well, many Ogres keep human captives because of their limited breeding. They must be kept alive and cared for. He is just as likely to kill and torture them. As well, his fascination with the undead likely started from an early age.

Somewhere along the line he found a necromancer to teach him the art. Most suggestion is that he learned the magic of necromancy somewhere in Africa. It is doubtful that the necromancer was as ruthless as he was and it is most likely that Arex killed him somewhere along the line. It would fit in with his personality and there are stories of a necromancer who took an Ogre as an apprentice and was later killed by that same Ogre.

It was around this time that he began to become known. He was completely ruthless and sent his Zombies and Mummies into villages and completely devastated them. Sometimes he did this for someone who hired him to make an object lesson of the village but other times there appeared to be no reason behind it. Anything valuable, he would have the Zombies collect and he began to amass a fortune. He would work with others, necromancers in some cases but not always. If he saw a way to gain from betraying them, they would soon find just how loyal he really was.

Eventually, he found out the Splugorth hatred of vampires. That too he took advantage of. He has allied himself with vampires but allies are just someone else to betray. He would work in the Vampire Kingdoms, pretending to be an ally but betraying them to Atlantis. In return, he got both the Bio-Wizard augmentations as well as a powerful rune weapon, a Necronstaff.
