Lore

 * Necron, similarly to other inhabitants of The Catacombs, was a human. After being orphaned by the Calamity, Necron sought to discover what magic killed his parents. That's why he joined the Mage's Academy, unfortunately, he was not very good, he was even called "the worst student", despite him being one of the oldest students at 17 years of age. He desperately tried gaining access to Scrolls with forbidden magic, knowing that they are the answer to his problems, but his requests were always denied.
 * Ten days before mage exam, that Necron, with his current knowledge, didn't have a chance to pass, he sat in his room, unable to sleep. He cursed the dean of the association for restricting his access to knowledge when he suddenly heard a subtle noise - a rustle of paper. Someone has slid some paper below his door. He couldn't believe what he saw, he quickly opened the door - but there was nobody there. Necron was holding a scroll with forbidden magic. He didn't keep his interest in them a secret, but the scrolls were protected with advanced spells, stealing them was unthinkable to anyone. He started learning the spell on the scroll. The scroll was able to make him invisible to regular magic. This spell would make him immune to vision spells, and able to bypass weaker barriers - he thought of only one place where that would be useful, and he had no intention going there.
 * Over a couple of days, he mastered the spell and thought of an almost too perfect way to use it. He knew, that for over a decade after his defeat, The Wither King was imprisoned in a cage, he was guarded by mages and a barrier, the guards however prefered to stay away from the cage itself. Necron pretended to help the guards with their chores. Despite his immense stress, he cast the spell in the forest, and walked to the barrier and crossed it with no problems. As he approached the cage behind the barrier, he noticed the ground and everything around him being corrupted, losing its color. He saw it, a wither creature, about twice his size. He did it, he met Kaeman, The Wither King.
 * Only the middle of his heads seemed to notice him; "You are using my spell" the Wither said. He was surprised hearing the voice, and he heard it again. "Who are you, and why are you here?" it said. "Why am I here?" Necron finally answered “My name is Necron. You killed my parents 17 years ago…”. After a brief silence, The Wither King responded "Is that why you are here, Necron?" "No..." Necron answered. He proceeded to question Kaeman about him, and the Fel Magic Apart from their common negative opinion on the Mage's Academy, they found that there were more similarities between the two of them. Kaeman offered to teach Necron the basics of Dark Magic. And Necron quickly lost interest in revenge against Kaeman.
 * Some time later, Kaeman wanted something in return from being Necron's master, he wanted to escape. They grew close, so Necron did not hesitate. Kaeman prepared a spell and it was time. While it only lasted few seconds, it was the most complicated thing that Necron ever had to conjure. After the barrier was destabilized, Kaeman broke his cage and a part of the island, then jumped to the Void together with Necron, stopping their fall after about 100 meters, entering an opening in the cliff, sealing it immediately behind them. "Just what is… What is this place?" Necron explaimed. “The Catacombs.” Kaeman replied.
 * Five years after the events of the Journals Apprentice, Part 1; Part 2 and Part 3, Kaeman taught Necron some more, until he himself became a powerful mage. One night, be went to an Inn for unknown reason, where a young murderer attempted on his life, Necron took Livid's corpse with him to The Catacombs, but he was followed. From his follower, Lathrop, he learned that the reason for following a stranger, were his visions, which told Lathrop that following him to his master, would make him meet his full potential. Necron took his follower with him, and not long after taking him to Kaeman, Lathrop became The Watcher.
 * After The Watcher's transformation, he was asked by The Wither King, to create a world where he would live his happy days again. After difficult and exhausting work, he succeeded. The Wither King secluded himself from The Catacombs, entrusted Necron to be in charge of The Catacombs and put The Watcher in Necron's service.
 * After destroying the Expedition to the Catacombs and sending Storm to destroy the castle. He began questioning his desire for conquest.
