Description
Archmages are powerful (and usually quite old) spellcasters dedicated to the study of the arcane arts. Benevolent ones counsel kings and queens, while evil ones rule as tyrants and pursue lichdom. Those who are neither good nor evil sequester themselves in remote towers to practice their magic without interruption. An archmage typically has one or more apprentice mages, and an archmage's abode has numerous magical wards and guardians to discourage interlopers.
Servant to the Arch-Emperor, this arch mage proves to be a terrifying opponent wielding a blind devotion to arcana and the Imperium of slug. A mere shadow of his masters power, this arch mage has a strong albeit slanted sense of honor, justice and loyalty. Typically avoiding combat scenarios preferring negotiations and battles of wit - This Arcane master is prepared to defend the Holy Cross under any and all circumstances.
