As far as classical definitions go, "revenant" is "a person who returns as a spirit after death; ghost."

While this certainly does explain any undead, there are multiple other possibilities for these special elementals who seem to serve the Titans or the Old Gods:
- spirits created without bodies, and given constructs to pilot
- spirits ripped from living creatures, and given constructs to pilot
- beings of power who could not be truly killed, who (once their physical form was destroyed) selected a construct to serve as their physical form

I'd expect there will be instances of each. Any serving the Titans are probably the first, while those serving Loken may be either of the first two (seeing as how he's corrupted.)

Ichoron may be the third, but could also be a rebelling (or loyal) servant.
