Vandameer Craven was a Necromancer who is always seen by the side of High Priest Tenebrae.

Craven does not believe Valkyrie is the Death Bringer and has began to groom Melancholia St Clair to become the Death Bringer.
Biography[]
Dark Days[]
Craven makes his first appearance outside the Temple. Craven, along with Tenebrae and Quiver, ask for the Soul Catcher back. Craven argues with Wreath, telling him that Valkyrie is not the Death Bringer, but Wreath is stubborn.
Mortal Coil[]
Craven appears with Quiver and Tenebrae, and once again argue with Wreath, who still believes that Valkyrie is the Death Bringer. Later on, he witnesses Wreath being told off by Tenebrae. Happy with this, he visits Melancholia St Clair and tells her she has the potential to be the Death Bringer. He begins training with her.
Death Bringer[]
Craven is first seen talking to Melancholia St. Clair. He has her tied to an operating table of sorts and has carved many intricate symbols all over her body so she can absorb the power of the Surge and harness it to become the Death Bringer. When Melancholia begs for release, Craven refuses her demands until he notices that she is performing Necromancy from upon the table where her powers should be bound without even knowing it. Satisfied that he has now succeeded in "creating" the Death Bringer, Craven releases Melancholia and showed her to Tenebrae. Melancholia kills Tenebrae, shortly before the Temple is raided by Sanctuary agents. Craven and Melancholia escape the Temple, along with Solus , Adrienna Shade , The White Cleaver , and Solomon Wreath. At the next safe house, Wreath attempts to assassinate Craven with a dagger, but is noticed and Wreath flees. The safe house is then raided by more agents, and Melancholia's reflection is killed.
Underneath The Requiem Ball, Craven witnesses the life force of 300 people being sapped by Melancholia. Melancholia then kills Solus and Shade, and takes Craven into the underground caverns beneath the house. They are both chased by Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain, Melancholia engages Pleasant in combat, and Craven attacks Valkyrie. While Melancholia throws Skulduggery to the floor, Craven shouts at Skulduggery that everything is over. Skulduggery responds by shooting Craven in the forehead.
