Gelthin Hornreach was the Magister from 326 DR to 337 DR.[1]

Personality[]

Gelthin desired only to continue his experiments.[1]

Abilities[]

Gelthin was a crafter of potions and amulets. His understanding of magical forces surpassed that of all other mages at the time.[1]

Possessions[]

Gelthin eventually claimed a ruin somewhere in the Sword Coast north.

Activities[]

Before becoming the Magister, Gelthin was a backstreet potion brewer and amulet constructor in Calimshan. Afterwards, he took refuge in a ruin, together with a vampire, and worked with the magic of existing adventurers that died in his dungeon, using spells and quests for treasure in order to lure people to his lair. He claimed the magic of those the vampire slew.[1]

History[]

Before becoming the Magister, Gelthin was a backstreet potion brewer and amulet constructor in Calimshan, born in the Sword Coast north. After being offered the position by Azuth, he moved back to the Sword Coast north, where he took residence in a ruin of an abandoned empire, striking a deal with a local vampire.[1]

He took the magic of those whom the vampire killed, and experimented with it, looking to create spells which could be boosted by wearing certain magical amulets. Though he kept clear records, he achieved little and spread nothing before he was caught unaware by Hortil Droone and promptly slain without delay.[1]

Rumors & Legends[]

Many believed Gelthin's hideout was actually inhabited by a lich, including the one that eventually slew him.[1]
