Reserved for the Three types of "Binders" (As in, they Bind a Spirit to into their Flesh. Kind of like the Normal Binder, but campaign adds some twists )

First up, The Primal Binder.

The Primal Binder

In the world, there are three known types of Arcane Zombie. Each is formed when some kind of spirit inhabits a body, while alive or dead. Elementals, strange creatures that rare do so, are sometimes captured by Mortals that bind them within their own flesh, fusing the magical soul of the elemental with the physical body of the human. Most of the time, it produces terrible creatures that devour the mortals soul.

Even then, the Primal Binder Knows that it will be his fate as well, if he cannot keep the elemental under control.
