Новая, свежая пачка Академиков...
Zehir
Excitable, headstrong, and energetic are the sorts of words the older Mages use to describe Zehir. He chose to master elemental magic, figuring (correctly) that if he could control beings as fickle and powerful as elementals he would be well prepared for any magical struggle. Though the title First of the Circle was granted to the young Mage in the hopes of staving off political infighting during a crisis, the other wizards of the Circle quickly realized that it was only a matter of time before Zehir's skills surpassed theirs – time that is more likely to be measured in months than in years.
Faiz
Faiz is notorious in the Silver Cities for his gruesome countenance, which he usually covers with a scarf. His scars are the result of an encounter with Desert Orcs, and from that day the once light-hearted Mage turned himself to thoughts of devastation and ruin. Mastering these arts, Faiz has gained the ability to inflict intensive arcane destruction upon his enemies.
Galib
Galib is a Djinn, a spiritual being, lord among the many elemental spirits that roam the plane of magic, invisible to the untrained eye. Galib is not a servant, but a friend and ally to the Mages of the Silver Cities, and he sits as one of the Circle in the Wizards’ ruling council to defend the interests of his. Many of his human counterparts have learnt to randomly deflect enemy spells, but Galib’s inherent magical nature permits him a measure of control over where the deflected spell goes. Enemies avoid using magic against him, knowing that Galib could cause their spells to bounce back and strike their own troops.
Nathir
During the War of the Grey Alliance, Nathir was taken prisoner by the demons. Enslaved in their sulfur mines, he was one of only three survivors of a massive prison uprising and escape. Nathir made his way across the fiery wastes of Sheogh and finally back to the Silver Cities, vowing from that day on that fire would be his servant and never again his master.
Nur
Nur is one of those beings that not only wields magic, but is inherently magical. A Djinn master of meditation and mental concentration, Nur's battles with Chaos magic across many worlds has led her to develop her intellectual capacity to a state of incredible resilience. As a result of study, practice, and preparation, Nur is capable of constantly replenishing her own arcane energies.
Razzak
Wisdom does not always come with age. After decades of study, Razzak attempted an experiment that would have permitted him to tap permanently and effortlessly into Asha's magic. He was lucky to survive, and now is blind, partially paralyzed and must be carried by slaves. The experiment did have positive effects as well, though, as Razzak devoted himself to the crafting of Golems to help him as semi-autonomous hands and legs.
