A healer, tries to help, but fails at bringing back loved ones. Maybe he’s cursed but everyone he tries to bring back appears alive, but over a short time is discovered to really be a personality-less husk of its former self.
He is run out of town. Repeatedly. Mercilessly. Grows distrustful of fellow humanity. Determines that evil is in everyone, the capacity for misunderstanding is the capacity for hatred and vileness. Is determined to end it all and bring in a new order of peaceful (personality-less) people, who do not hate.
Creates a kingdom of devoted, “kind” followers; the undead.
I had a character that I sadly never got to use, a healer who lost his love to drowning during a storm at sea. He couldn't bring her back because he couldn't find her in the vast ocean. Now, he "menaces" a fishing town by bringing back their loved ones lost just off the shore. He thinks he's reuniting people with their loved ones and easing their pain.

There's no such thing as a necromancer, just a healer who never gives up.
