In my game Asacar the Black was a cruel and brutal warlord before he became Shah. Once he was Shah he got involved in darkness demons and his son even more so, following the example of the Poet-Death Lord Great Garabang, who returned to the University of Ajaak for his lost compilation of Uz Poems.
There is a theory that Zorak Zoran Death Lords become gradually more lich-like so MY theory on Ammas would be that he turned into a troll, joined the Zorak Zoran cult and became a Zombie Death Lord.
