I didn't roll the character expecting to redeeem. I was new, and Maran was pasting me constantly. I'm probably one of the few people ever who got browbeat into redemption. They pretty much convinced me to stop being evil with words and murder. The character started asa half-elf that just kind of took up necromancy by chance, and I wasn't so focused on the PK mechanics then, so I just rolled with stuff that was going on.
