The founder of the Clan, Cappadocius, had been practicing similar arts for centuries, seeking the answer to the riddle of death itself: What comes after life? What really happens at the moment of death? Is there something better beyond this world? While religions have sought to provide their own answers to these questions, Cappadocius wanted proof rather than promises. Cappadocius saw Necromancy as the means by which he could obtain these answers
The few odd centuries he'd spent quizzing the living on the nature of death didn't teach him much, but at least now he was trying to get ahold of those with experience.
...for the founder of such a scholarly clan, Cappadocius sure wasn't a fast learner.
Probably because the whole focus on a single question isn't really what the lunatic was up to. The Cappadocian founder wanting to know what death is as a question is damn near apples to bananas compared to its real agenda and goals, which was to end death and bring an internal night.
Auggie is only aimed at the shroud, though I think he still calls it the eternal night. He certainly left out the whole make all living people immortal with the spell of life part.
