Alder Murari is a 43 year old hobgoblin wizard. Originally from a small town in Makin, he spent much of his childhood in Kassena City working with his father on a handful of (somewhat) well-known buildings. In the city he discovered magic from an elderly fortune-telling cat lady, and decided he was going to spend as much time as possible mastering it. Moved to Bjursta just after his 18th birthday. He studied under Artjöm, and became obsessed with "solving the black magic problem." A fool's errandboy on a good day, he's confident, realistic, and clever. Always tries to stay one step ahead of his opponents, though he often gets in his own way. 

IF Alder Murari dies, a contigency spell goes off in his pocket destroying all valuable spell components. (rubies, garnet, the mini chest for secret chest, etc)
