The Van Hal family is an ancient lineage of Witch Hunters that have since dedicated their lives to the service of the Church of Sigmar, seeking to atone for the misdeeds of their ancient ancestor, the infamous Necromancer known as Frederick van Hal. This lineage all began with Frederick, known more famously as Vanhal the Necromancer, whom was a former Priest of Morr that has subjugated himself to the teachings of Vlad von Carstein and became a legendary Necromancer during the time of the Skaven Wars.
