Lifestyle
Modest (1 gp/day).
Origin
- As a young lad, studied arcane magic in Zalkoryn.
- In truth, he wasn't terribly talented at magic, and advanced quite slowly.
- Essentially became a professional student, too hard-headed to give up.
- Supported himself - including his education - by becoming a petty peddler of spells-for-hire.
- It was in that capacity that he met an agent of Evemwyr, and eventually was recruited into his organization, spying on some of the luminaries of his academy.
- He never achieved the heights of magecraft he desired; indeed, he never managed anything beyond the first circle of magery.
- In time, he grew weary of the constant struggle, and accepted his lot in life.
- On his 60th birthday, he retired to the tiny village of Stranded, ekeing out an existence on a small savings, and doing the occasional small magical work for others.
- Then, four years later, Stranded was plunged into the Abyss.
- Though it was eventually rescued by the Champions of Ravenholt, he - like everyone else in Stranded - was transformed into a tiefling.
- More than that, though, he discovered some of his old magery lessons clicked in a new way. He quickly mastered the second circle of magic, and within a year, the third!
- To him, the trip to the Abyss unlocked his greatness, and he holds these other whiny Stranded tieflings in contempt! They've been given such power and all they can do is whine about it? Foolishness.
- He has re-connected with Evemwyr, and made friends with Allora when she and her assistants showed up in Stranded to begin work on the Spire there.
- He's learned a great deal from her, recording notes that he doesn't even fully understand yet in his spellbook.
- Then came the day when he received word from Evemwyr that he should prepare for a journey of some substance, and that he should be ready to leave the next day.
- The next day, he found himself on a cart, bound for Ravenholt.
- He has been in Ravenholt for a while, meeting folk at the Rose Academy (that Hazriel is an unsavory piece of work, though I admire his dedication to his magic at all ends), and in Katrica City.
