====Kemmlerites====
One of the most (in)famous and powerful wizards of all time, '''Heinrich Kemmler''' ([[Heinrich Kemmler|not the one you're thinking of]], although given Jim Butcher's status as "one of us" this could easily be a reference) was a necromancer of unparalleled skill, to the point where death could not hold him. The guy had something of a compulsive urge to teach people, so he took on many students and disciples, and wrote four books that his teachings might be spread: The Blood of Kemmler, The Mind of Kemmler, The Heart of Kemmler, and the Word of Kemmler. He was almost singlehandedly responsible for orchestrating WWI, during which he used the chaos for a steady supply of corpses, and the rampant death to further hone his art. The White Council took up arms, and the entire senior council and all the wardens attacked his stronghold and "killed" him. He popped up again in WWII, repeat story, the White Council "killed" him again. He popped up ''again'' in the 1960's, where the White Council, literally every wizard, all the wardens, and as many allies as they could muster, went forth and "killed" him again, destroyed "all" his books, and killed "all" his apprentices. Coincidentally, on the same day that Kemmler died Soviet Russia decided to test the most powerful nuclear device ever developed, the Tsar Bomba. Given further hints from the author, it's quite possible that either the bomb was used to kill Kemmler, or the "bomb" was his death curse. It's possible that he isn't totally dead, heavily implied that some of his books survive, it's outright confirmed that some of his apprentices survived. Kemmler practiced and taught something he called True Magic, a discipline of magic that made no distinction between white and black magic, seeing them as two sides of the same coin, ditto for life and death, an idea that's been getting more and more support as the series goes on, considering what we've learned about the soul and the afterlife, that said, Kemmler himself was one of the few individuals that "amoral" beings like Mab and Bob see as objectively evil, so the True Magic might just have been super evil that felt really good. One of his followers claims that he would have liked Harry, take that as you will. To sum up: Nagash lite, with some Nazi occultist and Mannimarco thrown in for flavor.

'''Known Kemmlerites'''

*'''Grevane''': Kemmler's first disciple, a scarred, bitter old necromancer by the current day. He seems to be the only one of Kemmler's living disciples who respects his departed master. A master of raising corpses as zombies; the older the corpse, the more powerful the undead, and he is capable of turning even the most unimpressive human  corpse into a relentless killing machine. 

*'''Capiorcorpus/Corpsetaker''': Another of Kemmler's disciples, an ex-council wizard who used body switching magic to inhabit the forms of others to prolong her life. She prefers binding wraiths to her will rather than zombies. Kemmler didn't favor her in comparison to his other apprentices, and the feeling was mutual, as she saw him as little more than a means to an end. 

*'''"Cowl"''': A mysterious wizard and a capital-freaking-B '''B'''adass, so named because he never gave Harry his name, and covered his face in a deeply shadowed cowl. He considered Kemmler to be nothing more than a talented madman(he could however be lying), so he may not have actually studied under Kemmler, but is associated with his other students. His evocation is on par with that of Morgan's or Ebenezar McCoy's, and he's "died" at least once, apparently surviving what was more or less having a supernatural necromancy nuke literally blow up in his face. He's implied to be a member of the White Council or possibly a former member. 

*'''"Kumori"''': Cowl's apprentice, a necromancer with a heart. She stopped a man caught in the crossfire of a gang war from dying, and unlike all most antagonists, was actually willing to try and talk things out with Harry. She actually makes a pretty good case to Harry that the use of necromancy isn't inherently evil, that just as "white" magic can be twisted against its "good" nature, so too can "black" magic be twisted against its "evil" nature. May or may not be dead.
