[edit] Verata, Pre-Searing

Verata the Necromancer is a promising necromancer in Ascalon's necromantic order who shows exceptional ability in the field of summoned minions, which might be a reason why many minion related skills are named after him. While Verata is undoubtedly gifted, his lust for power has been known to lead him to commit atrocities against people in his bid for greater 'understanding'. The necromantic order is most eager to keep any such indiscretions quiet, and as such, exact details would be hard to obtain unless one were to have necromantic inclinations.

Verata (the left image) is also the first Profession Trainer for necromancers before the Searing.

He makes an appearance while the Ascalon refugees are crossing the Shiverpeak Mountains but as a foe instead. He beats a hasty retreat after the completion of a quest but that is not the end of him. Players may still encounter him (the right image) on occasion with his cultists in Kessex Peak.

Anomaly! Although Verata is wielding a Bone Staff,his attack animation looks like he is wielding an axe.

[edit] Trivia

• Verata's name probably comes from clatto verata nicto, the incantation that Ash repeatedly fails to recite correctly in Army of Darkness, which is, in turn, a parody to the command klaatu barada nikto from The Day the Earth Stood Still.
