Origin of The Chosen Undead:
As stated previously, The Chosen Undead was chosen to go on a journey, fraught with danger. I've heard many different accounts of what they look like, everyone seems to have their own idea. Everyone does say this though. He/she is definitely a silent type and relentless in their ideals. 

Evolution of The Chosen Undead:
Throughout their journey, The Chosen Undead changes equipment and armour often, learns new spells and sometimes even gains a little humanity. Only the best gear is chosen to help The Chosen Undead fulfil their quest.
