This grouping of restless souls were awoken by a necromancer who was fleeing the Empire as his personal retinue, he lost many a good fighter as he tried to reach the City-state of Marienburg where as all criminals know you can hide from the law and get anywhere in the old world easily enough. With his purse running low and only a dozen or so protectors left he cunningly decided to enter them in some minor league BloodBowl games, with his somewhat competent coaching combined with hes meagre magical abilities he found they could be succesful. He managed to find a barrow where he could raise more wights, the ghouls where naturally drawn to the magical forces surrounding his team crypt. The mummies where a bit harder to come by and had to be found through the 'help' of some treasure hunters who soon found them selves with a blade in the backs and awakening as zombies. With a fair few positionals and access to more specilaised players he diced it was time to take it to the big leagues and go earn some major coin in the BlackBox circuit. He wasnt afraid of the extremely killy team as he can replace the majority of his team for little to no cost, and the mummies were worth the coin when it would cost him it.
