[edit] History
[edit] Appearance
The Magian possesses a half decayed body. His lips are decayed away, showing his gums and teeth. The flesh on his fingers have decayed away; revealing his finger bones. There are other places where his flesh has decayed, showing bone or hanging bits of flesh. His flesh is still red, but his skin has taken on a sickly colour. His body is also emaciated, but he still moves as if he's a teenager. His personality type is extroverted, intuitive, thinking and perceiving; as he is a visionary man.
[edit] Possessions
The Magian has few possessions, preferring instead to rely upon his magic, blood powers and undead state to protect him. It is unknown where (if at all) the Magian keeps his phylactery and or even, if he does not have one, how it is even possible to destroy him.
[edit] Personality
Typical Dialogue:
"There is absolutely too much chaos. Caravans pay duty to a hundred border taxes and again to bandits; and there is absolutely no difference between them."
"While I am fed by the Blood of Azrai, it rules me not -- I rule it, unlike the other awnsheghlien who seem only fit to provide sport for hunters."
"I plan to unite the land under one banner, with one law, one court, one allied people."
