A new study by scientists has suggested that zombie attacks might increase if the current projections of global warming are realized. “If the earth gets warmer, it means longer springs, summers, and falls, and shorter winters,” said John Carpenter-Romero, Ph.D., a zombie-ologist who co-authored the study. “And shorter winters means more time for the undead to prey on the populace.”

Dr. Harrister, the other co-author, and head of Zombie Robotics at Wayward Robot, Inc., explained that cold winters typically stalled the walking dead. “It is well known that zombies can’t operate in cold weather. It freezes their brains.”

The pair calculated a 32.782412% increase in zombie attacks if CO2 increased to twice its pre-industrial rate. “Clearly, this is a very troubling result,” said Dr. Harrister, “If we don’t do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.”

By the way, it would seem obvious that your entire family is genetically predisposed to membership in the Undead Thread Fraternity.

Karsh Kentu is somewhat short for his people, pale in complexion, and after being rather rudely woken from his repose on a stone funerary bier, he has a ‘curious mark around his right eye’.
I haven’t finalized what I want said mark to look like, I figured it would be a faint discoloration around the eye, looking more like a tear streak from the center of the lower eyelid with some linework off towards the right temple.

Kentu wears gloves/gauntlets that come most of the way up his forearms.
The thumbs, index, and pinky fingers on the gloves are fingerless.
The middle and ring fingers are covered.
A strange man, to be certain.

Just without the pitchfork wielding villagers.

Der Prinz seems to lack Undeadness. The Offspring must get it from me, along with the feet.
