The dead do not often rest easily, a phrase that is most true for those who become revenants. A revenant is the undead version of a living being. It retains it's old powers and abilities but gains the advantages of many other undead beings such as not having to eat or sleep and being resistant to diseases. Revenants can be good or evil, depending on their purpose in unlife.
It is a revenants purpose that gives them their sorry existance. Like many ghosts they return to finish something and to fill out a role they feel that they have failed in life. A revenant who swore to protect something for eternity will often find they have to protect said something until they are utterly destroyed. The only real way to utterly destroy a revenant is to allow it to complete it's task or to destroy it's entire body, freeing the spirit (powerful exorcism often works just as well by forcing the spirit to flee the flesh).
