Strasus Thingoleir

Strasus Thingoleir, nicknamed the "Bold", was a talented archmage and ex-adventurer living in Yhaunn in the mid-to-late 14 century DR.

Personality
Strasus had a particular fondness for destructive evocation spells, though his tendencies became more temperate with age.

Relationships
Strasus was married to Dagnalla and was the father of Malia Thingoleir, Roderio Thingoleir, and Keph Thingoleir, as well as father-in-law to Krin Foxrun and grandfather of Adrey Foxrun. He and Dagnalla tutored Malia, Roderio and Adrey in magic.

He struggled to be a good father to Keph, having little to connect over, and often came off as patronising or dismissive. He was exasperated by his son's relentless troublemaking, having to repeatedly bail him out of jail. In an attempt to bond over his son's love of dueling, he commissioned the magical rapier Quick as a gift for Keph, to little effect.

Activities
Over the years, Strasus built quite the reputation for saving the day at the last second with a powerful spell. By the time he lived in Yhaunn, he had largely retired from excitement, but still provided services to the city when needed.

History
In his youth, Strasus was an adventurer and travelled widely. He was well-known for standing face to face with a red dragon and blasting it to bits with his magic, heavily singed but alive, earning the nickname "the Bold". In the course of his adventures, he came into repeated conflict with the wizard Dagnalla Irongard, with their strong rivalry growing into love. After marrying Dagnalla, they built Fourstaves House and started their family in Yhaunn.

In 1373 DR, he was entrusted with safekeeping and studying a collection of artifacts recovered from the tunnels around Yhaunn, among them The Leaves of One Night.

Later, he led his family to defend the Stiltways from the shadow mastiffs sent as a distraction by Variance Amatick.
