Scholar Maleficius

Scholar Maleficius has long been known in the Land as a nosy busybody, flitting from the graces of one warlord to another, trading information for knowledge, and getting in and out of all sorts of trouble. But when Maleficius discovers a trove of rare Red Magestone within the depths of the Blasted Lands, ripe and ready for the harvest, his time spent as Raydan Marz’s advisor quickly came to an end. Now, warlords from several factions battle for this treasure and the services of one of the most renowned specialists on the refinement and use of Red Magestone in all the Land. The highest bidder shall claim the sorcerer, but the price shall be paid with the blood of the winner’s enemies!

Maleficius is a human male wizard-scholar unaligned to any faction. He has written many collections, journals, and observations on the Land, its magic, factions, species, and is known to possess quite a collection of magical artifacts and curiosities.
