Kulemak is a historical entity of Wraeclast. He is the master of the Lich Lords and the the Abyssals, though he himself is a Lich Lord that serves "The Master Below All". He is also known as the "master of Undeath". He draws power directly from the Well of Souls, and gains strength as his ancient bones and flesh are returned to the Source. He is perhaps one of the most powerful necromancers in Wraeclast, perhaps even having control over Death itself, and was responsible for imbuing souls into copies of the golem obtained from Ahn to create the Abyssals. Kurgal was originally one such golem. He and the Abyssals flooded the Vastiri Plains and laid waste to the primeval civilization in an event known as the Winter of the World which lasted for centuries, but were eventually driven back by the Maraketh, Ahkeli, and the sisters Solerai and Lundara. The Hooded One was accused by the Lurking Creature of stealing Kulemak's "spark", though it is unclear whether this refers to Divinity or some other power.

The Vessel of Kulemak is not Kulemak himself, though it contains a fragment of his powers and used to test those who seek him.

A powerful artifact associated with him, the Horns of Kulemak, was once stolen by Catarina from the Order of the Djinn. This artifact was believed to be the "ultimate tool of life and death", capable of both siphoning life from any living being or restoring the life and soul of the dead through true resurrection, rather than only reanimating the dead like typical necromancy.
