This villain does look pretty creepy, and while it's obvious he won't be the person causing all of the drama, he will scare the hell out of the students.
The Necromancer was full of insults for Alaric and Dorian at the end of Legacies Season 1 Episode 7, but will Hope and MG be able to get one over on the villain?
Our best guess here is that MG is attempting to compel the latest villain who is looking for the knife, but there's not a chance in hell that will work.
