Description

Zoster is a heavyset human male with long gray beard.  He has devoted a lifetime of study to becoming and archmage.  He joined to order of the Black robes early in his career, and his ordeal in the Test of High Sorcery left him with deformed hands.  His fingers look like those of someone suffering from crippling arthritis, and cause him great pain.  The rise of the dragon army gave Zoser a focus for his research; he volunteered to serve as a mage in the hidden strongholds where draconians are created.  In order to prove himself to High Master Kansaldi Fire-Eyes, leader of the Red Dragon Army's offensive against Solamnia, Zoster has worked hard to create a new form of soldier:  the Umbral draconian.  He has at last perfected his creation ritual , and plans to present it to Kansaldi at the earliest opportunity.
