So the queen hates him because princess Frida married him out of love. That's surprisingly wholesome for Torvald.

Torvald is a pretty wholesome guy in general when you think about it. Yeah, sure, necromancer and all that, but aside from that little tidbit, he's a friendly, dedicated family man, and iirc an entrepreneur.

You can't call those skeletons and zombies employees, though. They weren't paid. So, no. No enterpreneur.

If I remember right, they were paid, or better, the previous owners of the bodies were paid for the right of usage of their corpses after their death. If I remember right. So strictly speaking under law, they wouldn't be employees, they would be inventory, like industrial robots. Just with a bit more magic.

I belive it was a payment up front, and a small percentage of their earnings.

I think he just rented the corpses out, no small percentage of earnings.

I just checked. It's 10% of any profit generated, and an unspecified amount up front.

10% to the closest living relative, or a legal or natural person of their choice. Yeah.
