Ohland Grethgar

Ohland Grethgar was the Magister from to.

Appearance
He was handsome and well-spoken.

Personality
He had been described as both ambitious and ruthless, the latter trait coming after the death of his second master.

Abilities
Ohland Grethgar had devised a bone hook spell that allowed him to pursue a target wherever they fled, no matter how far they went or whether they were polymorphed. During his time with the Trapmaster, he developed magic to alter locks, and to create doors that were protected by beams of magic to stab intruders. He had gained a reputation in magefairs for the small but useful spells he developed.

History
Ohland was born in Westgate to poor parents; he spent a good portion of his childhoold amongst the logging crofts in the Starmantle area, where he met his first master, Iriskree. He performed minor tasks for both her and his family; his reputation spread, and he was soon offered an apprenticeship by a mage known only as the Trapmaster. The Trapmaster perished in a spell duel with Jaelaera Sundeirnyn; she then turned on him, and he barely lived. He resolved to become stronger then so as to meet every challenger.

He continued the Trapmaster's trade, demonstrating some spells at magefairs, and soon caught the eye of the Simbul. She saw him as a kindred spirit, and offered to turn him into one of the mightiest mages if he would slay the one mage she was forbidden from killing, the Magister Uldinus Lawkland. He agreed, growing in power dramatically under her eye. After slaying several Calishite mages of great cruelty, he set a trap for the Magister, laying a rumor of a crypt full of gorgeous Netherese sorceresses in stasis, surrounded by a hoard of items only they knew how to use. Disguising himself as one of the women, he emerged from hiding and issued a formal challenge as soon as the Magister appeared. Though the Magister fled immediately, Ohland's bone hook spell allowed him to follow precisely, and quickly slay him.

During his tenure as the Magister, Ohland taught the rudiments of magic to people up and down the Sword Coast, blasting challengers whenever they came to him. Unfortunately, he perished over Columbor when he was challenged by the black dragon Starlaurynguldar, who was protected with some sort of antimagic amulet; though the device did not survive, Ohland died as well. The dragon perished of its wounds shortly after, and thus, the Mantle of the Magister was offered to Inhil Lauthdryn.

Rumors
There were suspicions that Ohland had also been the Simbul's lover during his time as her disciple.
