Strange and unorthodox for a necromancer, Idroxius has focused his studies on the binding energies behind what is "life" and "undeath", researching the meaning of "being alive" and the gray areas around that state.
His peers consider him an unambitious "nerd" who completely misses the the point of building an Army of Darkness. (Though they grudgingly acknowledge he has discovered and unlocked entirely new powers).
Nerd or otherwise, he is unquestionably competent and meticulously disciplined in wizardry - observant of detail and nuance and thereby immensely careful (perhaps verging on paranoid) about acceptable boundaries and risk-taking.
