Spite Harrowdale

Spite Harrowdale was an thousand-year-old archmage that posed as a 12-year-old apprentice mage in the magical academy of Dweomercore during the 15 century DR.

Description
Spite was extremely intelligent; he was fluent in a number of languages and possessed great talent as a practitioner of the Art.

He appeared as a young rashemi boy that demonstrated typical magical skill for someone that age.He his youthful appearance with the regular imbibing of potions of longevity.

Activities
Spite viewed the "Mad Mage" Halaster Blackcloak as a superior magical power and wanted to learn as much as he could from the similarly-ancient wizard. He felt his time in Undermountain as a grand adventure

While enrolled in Dweomercore, Spite came to realize that the headmaster of the academy was not actually Halaster Blackcloak, but rather an arcanaloth assuming his form. Spite maintained a similar deception, demonstrating competence in only the most basic spells to maintain his ruse of being a pre-adolescent magic student. Unlike Spite's classmates, the arcanaloth saw through the archmage's deceit as well and kept a close eye on his activities.

While he was enrolled within the academy, in the late 15 century DR, Spite sought to steal Halaster Blackcloak's personal spellbook.

Relationships
The archmage was accompanied by an oni mage Kumar who, like Spite, altered their appearance to that of a half-orc woman named "Dumara". Kumar saw Spite as an older brother figure, while the archmage felt that the oni was his only true confidant.

Possessions
Within his personal dormitory, Spite kept the two volumes that comprised his spellbooks, the Spells of Spite. They were hidden within a Leomund's secret chest, in a room protected by a glyph of warding.

History
Before he joined the academy of Dweomercore, during the 14 century DR. Spite lived in Undermountain within the realm of Wyllowwood. He met Kumar after the Oni had found his way into Trobriand's Graveyard by means of a portal, and the two spent their time creating magical traps that caught interlopers who dared trespass into the deeper layers of Undermountain.

He and Kumar made their home within a set of ruins nestled into an isle in the middle of the River of the Depths. In addition to his room, he had a small laboratory and holding cells that housed the subjects of his arcane experimentation.
