You can't be that when you're hanging around the camp as a cheap res player convenience feature! I have no idea what they are trying to do with this character and it looks like neither does Larian.
I think it is rather simple
badly balanced game with a lot of cheap deaths => easy way to mitigate death => NPC at the camp providing cheap way of rezzing => writers have to sell a universe breaking concept like that so misterious undead with godly connections yadda yadda yadda
