Useful Info

Nergalle is a unique orc necromancer. She is generally not a huge threat by the time you normally encounter her, though she's capable of becoming temporarily invulnerable when nearly dead. Her most distinguishing aspect is her ability to summon up spectral orcs, which she then hastes. If you are an orc priest of Beogh it is possible to convert Nergalle to your cause.

History

Prior to 0.8, she could not summon spectral orcs and simply pelted you with spells.
