Almer Galarthund

"'Tis a lonely thing, to be Magister. All shadows have eyes. Death is never far off, and often charges at one. 'Tis not an office for the faint of heart."

History
Almer Galarthund prepared a trap for Quaervaxthanus in which he rigged a number of wands to discharge all of their power against the beholder from all directions; he himself was gravely injured in the process, as the wands blew up the mountainside. He found healing, but the memory of that pain made him overly cautious, traveling always in disguise, assiduously employing defensive magic, and striking first at any wizard who got too close. He resolved eventually to train a successor, but was ambushed and slain before he could.
