Kings of War: Jarvis, Ophidian Necromancer
Once a devoted servant of the Shining Ones, Jarvis now walks a darker path—commanding the dead not out of malice, but out of grim necessity.

Tactical Overview:
Jarvis performs best as a utility spellcaster. With Heal and Surge, he supports undead or elemental-heavy armies, while Lightning Bolt gives him reach against enemy support units. His ability to shift between offense and defense makes him useful in nearly any army composition. Though not a front-line fighter, his presence can tip the balance in key moments.
