===Ossiarch Bonereapers=== '''Immortis Guards''' are typically assigned to Bindings, whether living, undead or a mixture thereof, as either bodyguards or to lend their expertise in protecting to a Binding that seeks to protect something or some one. Ironically, in a Binding, an Immortis Guard's protective and stubborn nature might develop into greater autonomy. '''Kavalos Deathriders''' typically join Bindings of any sort for one of three reasons. The first is simple: mercenary work. As the most mobile of the Ossiarch, the Kavalos Deathriders are the first call for the forces of Death when someone or something needs to be chased down, and even the gods of Order and Destruction can sometimes see the use in recruiting them. Bindings made up of Kavalos Deathriders, Knights of Shrouds, Black Knights and Blood Knights are the stuff of fearful legend throughout the realms. The second reason why a Deathrider may join a Binding, usually a living one, is for the rights to collect the Binding's souls after they die in exchange for its help. The third reason, rarest of all, is to benefit their steed; Kavalos Steeds are made from the essence of disgraced Osssiarchs, and some Deathriders wish to win their faithful companions release from this torment by restoring their glory and earning promotion back into a higher form of Bonereaper. '''Morghasts''' are typically believed to be assigned to Bindings to ensure their loyalty to Nagash. This is... largely true, but not the ''whole'' truth. You see, as loyal as they are, the Morghasts are also very simple minded creatures. Sometimes, they misinterpret Nagash's commands, and even end up going so far as to subvert him. Some wild rumors go further than this, claiming that less loyal Mortarches, like Mannfred and Neferata, manipulate Morghasts into aiding Bindings made up of treasonous undead and/or living Soulbound as part of a grand experiment to see if the loyalties of a Morghast can change. After all, if constructs like ''these'' can betray the God of Death, then that means '''all''' undead can hope to win freedom from Nagash's tyranny. '''Mortisans''' are highly unusual in that they are the most idealistic of the Ossiarchs. More than any other Bonereaper, Mortisans ''genuinely believe'' in the idea of the "Principia Necrotopia", a true pan-Death civilization, and for this reason they often voluntarily seek to join Bindings of Death in order to refine and promote this vision. After all, a Binding containing ghouls, vampires, nighthaunts, wights and Ossiarchs is essentially the Necrotopia in miniature! But alongside idealism, Mortisans have two traits that make them very interested in living Soulbound too: curiosity, and professional pride. After all, the techniques that Mortisans use are "refined" from the Rite of Soulbinding, and many Mortisans are very eager to see the prototype in action. Nagash doesn't share that knowledge readily, and the gods are very rare to let a Mortisan watch a Binding be forged from scratch, but even adventuring alongside an existent Binding and watching how they draw upon soulfire can teach a Mortisan ''so much''... '''Necropolis Stalkers''' showcase one of the downsides of being an intelligent undead: the capacity to feel boredom. Stalkers were made for war, and unlike a living creature, they can't really exist outside of that context. But even Nagash isn't at war 24/7. Many try to alleviate this boredom by becoming guardians for any of the undead races, but some seek out Bindings, whose unending duty can keep a Stalker occupied for an appreciable fraction of eternity. Ironically, their ability to switch personas, so integral to their fighting expertise, actually makes them some of the Ossiarchs most vulnerable to the "pollution" of spiritual growth that accompanying a living Binding can bring - they can hide their bending of Nagash's principles even from themselves.
