A Cursebearer is a tamer who has violently lost their entire family of animal companions and too fearful of rearing a new family believing themselves to cursed. When such emotion a darker thought can overtake their minds and they search for a way to bring their family back, for most this search ends in vein, but those that discover a dark way to do so become Cursebearers. They raise their companions from the grave, completely oblivious to their visage, believing them to have returned to them.
Cursebearers rarely find an adventuring party, although the party they were a member of while a tamer, and during the journey to return the tamer's family may allow a Cursebearer to stay, the bond of friendship can overcome much. Should a curse bearer ever find a animal that awakens their old love of nature the undead companions will crumble to dust in an instant and they return to tamer.
