Notch serves Boneyard as a general in his war, and as such has been granted magical power and immortality. He and Archimage's general Lukasz have been fighting their war for ceunturies, killing each other over and over again. This time around his hated enemy has been reincarnated in the form a the female Mantra, much to Notch's sadistic pleasure. With each kill, Notch earns his name by carving a new notch in his staff.
