Cedric is a wizard who employed his magical skills as adventurer, during his younger days. Now that he is older, he has decided to settle down, becoming a lecturer at Margheal Academy. His peers see him as a loose cannon who lacks academic rigour. He thinks they're stuck up.
Description
Cedric has deep blue eyes and short, brown hair. He still bears the look of an adventurer, his hands calloused and his face rugged and scarred. He favours practical clothing, over the stuffy academic robes of his peers. He walks with a strong posture, always seeming ready for action. He is usually seen carrying the crescent-topped staff he used as an adventurer. When asked about where he got it, he always responds with a completely different story.
He is friendly and approachable, but unorthodox in his teaching style. He always focuses on how magic can be used in a real world setting and many of lectures involve long-winded stories about adventuring and fighting monsters. He has taken a particular liking to his newest student, Tryxum. His
interest in practical magic and innocent curiosity reminds Cedric of
when he started as an adventurer.
Background
Cedric was born into a merchant family in the river town of Willowford. He was educated mathematics, science and language. When he showed an interest in magic, his parents sent him to study at a nearby school of magic, hoping he would use his powers to aid the family business. Instead, he turned to a life of adventure. He had a longing to explore the world, which led him to the hall of the Adventurer's Guild in the town where he was studying.
He joined a party of like-minded individuals and never looked back. Their names became legend. In time, Cedric was approached by a senior lecturer from Margheal and offered a position. He accepted, hoping to inspire a new generation of wizards to do something other than sit in a dark tower all day, reading books.
