Here is where you should put in a short but concise writeup of the organization.

History

Lambach began life as an exceptionally intelligent but struggling boy in an ancient land which doesn't exist anymore. Being gifted with an unbelievable intellect, a quick wit and adaptation abilities that would one day be recognized as borderline mutation, Lambach learned everything around him. From the crude but effective science of agriculture, to the religious rituals, false and factual of villages around his own, and most of all, the ritual magics of the local shamen. Expecting him to grow into the next village shaman, everything was taught to the boy. By the time he was a teen, he was already more gifted and knowledgeable than the shaman and the priests, and was not satisfied.
Lambach sought out more knowledge, traveling to larger cities to learn from the local mystics and scholars.. once more, absorbing the information like a sponge. By the time he reached adulthood (about 15 in those days), older, ostensibly wiser men feared and admired him in turn, his potential terrifying them greatly.. but his abilities almost a necessary evil to enhance their own powers. Lambach realized that well and used his skills to their lowest abilities to get what he wanted out of the greedy, jealous men, and in exchange got what he wanted. Their knowledge, their wares, and their daughters.. and wives. Leaving a trail of bastards before moving on to the next city, the one true thing Lambach wanted was power by now.
By the time of his 20th year, his name was known and spoken of in hushed tones. The often angry sorcerer came into cities, demanding knowledge and punishing those who would not give it to him.. and then punishing them for already knowing this. It took him some time to realize that while everything he didn't know was ...amazingly vast, no one else knew it either. And that's when he turned to darker forces, seeking out forbidden grimoires, ancient tomes of unspeakable powers and horrors, as well as covens of witches and worshipers of things man was not meant to know. As with everything else, Lambach took to this like a sponge to water. Learning of runic magicks calling upon ancient 'gods' which were more alien than demonic, forbidden curses and powers, the next few years were devoted to this abominable work.
When he came out of these studies, he was a changed man. Having gleamed at how insignificant man and all other creatures on the planet were to the greater scheme of the universe.. a word now losing its meaning, he realized he would never live long enough to become knowledgeable enough to matter. He was not satisfied with this. The name Lambach should be spoken of in centuries from now, alongside great kings and emperors, not simply a footnote in the annals of time. He needed a legacy. And so, he set out to get it. Traveling back to his village, he ordered them to arm themselves, telling his brothers, sisters and those of his age to join him as they would raid the capital city. He promised them victory. They attempted to stone him for heresy. They all died, and then did exactly as he ordered.
It was a four day siege, during which the capital fell, and the reign of the sorcerer king began. Lambach, his bastards, and his army of undead had claimed the city, which would forever be known as a crypt.. at least, until it was burned, centuries later, but that is another story.
Lambach set out to find and marry himself or his bastard sons to all great wizardry families in the area, any mystics and seers were annexed into his extended family, dubbing them 'Clan Lambach'. From there, he began to oversee an ambitious breeding project, purposely mating.. sometimes against their wills, the strongest heirs of all the families assembled under the banner of Clan Lambach, slowly but surely starting a line of incredibly gifted spell casters, all he while producing more and more offspring of his own, with many different women. However, he realized this experiment would go on long after his death, and while he could whip them into shape now.. there would be no guarantee that his descendents would follow in his grand plan. This was unacceptable.
There was only one solution. Immortality, the impossible magic. But nothing was impossible to Lambach. He began using his extended Clan's resources to research every aspect of magic, and eventually turned to nigrimancy, later called necromancy, which he.. once more, mastered, amazingly quickly, using his phenomenal innate power to craft the most perfect phylactery for his life essence, and then set about to make the most foolproof way of assuring his forever immortality. He dissipated his own life essences among the leaders of his Clan's main families, granting all of them the status of 'House', and ensuring that his unlife would become ETERNAL so long as even one of his descendents was still at least active, even as an undead.
From then on, Lambach.. taking various names for himself among the Houses of Clan Lambach, to move among his family members, continued his grand breeding experiment, forming various Houses over time, crafting them each into different branches of Sorcery, and taking great pains to learn whatever new magics humans, and especially, his descendents come up with, forever expanding his influence, and power, intending to unlock every mystery of the universe, and gather his own, everlasting deification, through absolutely knowledge and power.
Most major breakthroughs in mystical arts come in some part from himself or Clan Lambach, having had a hand in influencing most great mystical and philosophical thinkers. The very idea of Alchemy can often be attributed to the workings of the undead sorcerer, all to further his own goals, and often annexing great thinkers from the shadows into the dark grasp of Clan Lambach.
