The wave scattered ever-present sky vortices into the far reaches of oblivion, unveiling five moons again.

Rot spire. End of storms.

I knelt in soil-turned-mud until the mist of dawn crept into my periphery.
Though it felt like it would never rain again, my tears refused to dry.

"My great grandmother, in rare moments of sobriety, often told me that we are not defined by what is to transpire, but rather the choices that we make.

"Of course, she never told me what to make of the consequences, should we be mistaken in our choosing. It never seemed to bother her."

Has little allies and fewer friends because he's physically incapable of not antagonising most of the upper echelon of Ilzean society, the Cryastolan Inquisition, and most fellow officers in the Legion

Still ended up as High Chancellor due to being a spite vote

Has really bad handwriting (like a doctor's), tends to telekinetically lay down ink as a clutch for paperwork instead

How did he get through university? Typewriters of course

Is good at drawing diagrams though, so the Archmage usually gave him a pass

Wears dark glasses indoors like an asshole (mainly to avoid eye contact or eye-murder someone without them noticing, depending on the situation)

Has an excuse for it later once he does something that leads to his progressive blindness in the latter part of the story

Was once a part of a graverobber and necromancy group back in his home town, until something went really, really wrong

Never stopped collecting blood magic treatises and manuals like borderline illegal trading cards though

Is asexual
Has been in (and still in) a handful of very questionable situationships, many of whom are
A) political enemies that he met in battle
B) professional colleagues (conflict of interest hello)

Some are just regular old acquaintances who happen to be really shitty people ofc

Was a ghostwriter for many Specialisation Treatises for a bunch of grad students in university; took payments in enchanting supplies

Eventually got blackmailed over the side gig by a deranged fling (the reason he skipped town by joining the army)

Owns one(1) coat in a world where everybody wears multiple layers of anything, magically alters it to correspond with seasonal changes
He gets shit from the party when they realise it (because he stubbornly refuses to replace it when he couldn't reverse the damage when on the run)

Glass cannon lol
Very adept in magical combat and a fairly skilled swordsman, but has only passable stamina and really mediocre physical condition
This goes unnoticed for over a decade until he's hit with the Heretic's Brand and stripped of most of his magic
