Urboltar Highymhelver

Urboltar Highmyelver was the Magister from to. He was driven insane by his scrying.

Appearance
He was a nondescript man of middling height.

Personality
Urboltar was ambitious and ruthless. By the end of his tenure, however, he was consumed by madness.

Abilities
He cast the spellseeking worm that led him to Tsjancy Yildree. He never gained the power to compel anyone to do anything, though he sought it.

History
At the time of slaying the previous Magister, Urboltar schemed to control Faerün by compelling hordes of orcs to destroy whatever stood in his way.

Before his schemes could come to fruition, however, he came into possession of an enchanted full-body mirror. The visions in the mirror, those of three black cloaked figures with flowing, changing, elongated limbs, haunted him for the rest of his days, rendering all his nights sleepless. He was wracked by hallucinations and rendered an erratic, irresponsive, dangerous wreck. He murmured when found by Tybolt Arsurath and screamed, but did not fight back.

Rumors & Legends
The nature of his visions was a subject of debate, alternatively interpreted as malaugrym, Imaskari mages trapped in the mirror, or others.

Urboltar and the consequences of his scrying were remembered in the popular ballad, Ever is Weather.

"He looked in the mirror, and what did he see? He saw a spell storm coming for dark lords three.  One to hurl cold winds, one to crack the sky,  one to drag all mages down and make them, howling, die. Look away, oh staring one, look away!"

- "Ever is Weather" (popular ballad)
