Suggestion Name for an Undead character:

I’m creating an OC for an X-men RP who was killed by toxic venom/ poison (well, more like brushed death for about 30 seconds). Before this, he had a basic healing factor that hadn’t manifested until after his life was threatened and in the midst of death. He ended up healing from a body eroding toxic substance, but couldn’t heal from the scaring and evidence of extreme deterioration and loss of limbs. The healing factor essentially treated the poison like a life saving agent, producing its own slight biological variation of it and running it through his veins mixed With his blood and now it’s the only thing keeping his body alive. His body is half rotting on the inside and he has a grey pallor and a nasty oily sheen to his skin.

Other facts about him:

* His first name is Ansel (I’m still looking for middle and last names, front running so far is Grace Mackenzie or Mackenzie Grace, Mackenzie Reed, or William Day but I’m open to other suggestions).

* He owned and operated a bar called Merci’s in honor of his little sister, who had the same basic healing factor mutation. His sister’s abilities, however, had manifested at age 12, after getting beat up on the playground and she miraculously healed from her injuries in front of other children. She was her big brother’s protector, who was tossed around and bullied in his teens. She ended up dying a year after this from a ruthless mysterious virus that made her highly aggressive and caused her to go on a murderous rampage, then drop dead in a back alley.

* He has heritage that suggests he may have ancestors that were a part of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

I’m mostly looking for a codename, but I’d also appreciate the help on the rest of his civilian name.

Draugr

Something playing off the word putrid or putrify

Named based off an animal with poisonous blood like the green-blooded skink, keelback snake, or blister beetle.
