====Mannimarco and Galerion====

Summary:
#Mannimarco lived on the island Artaeum, the third largest island in the Summerset archipelago.
#Mannimarco was said to be highly intelligent, as was his fellow student Vanus Galerion, founder of the Mages Guild. Galerion had a "light and warm" heart, while Mannimarco unsurprisingly had a "dark and cold" heart.
#Mannimarco used necromancy and trapped souls even while studying.
#Galerion eventually confronted Mannimarco about his use of necromancy beneath the Ceporah Tower. Mannimarco ignored Galerion's warning.
#Mannimarco was later sent to Tamriel by his masters, either on an undescribed errand or as a rather feeble punishment for his dark interests. Regardless, he used the opportunity to gather followers and spread his vile practices.
#Galerion left for the mainland as well, disgusted by the short-sighted ways of the Psijic Sages, determined to both curtail Mannimarco and set up a new occult organization.
#Mannimarco's evil began spreading throughout Tamriel and he gathered a following of Necromancers.
#He became the first lich. It is not specified if he was the first lich ever or the first humanoid to make the transformation. He lost his body and mind; he became a living, moving corpse. His blood became acid, and all manner of repulsive things happened to him.
#Galerion left the Mages Guild, calling it "a morass" of political infighting and tortuous bureaucracy.
#Galerion attacked Mannimarco in a great battle, where he called Mannimarco "The Worm King".
#Mannimarco began to unleash incredibly powerful death spells. However, he felt his depraved powers fail, and the battle was won by the Guild. Approximately a thousand men total died in the battle, Galerion included, and it appeared that Mannimarco had died as well.
