Rose to 1st Chair only 3 years ago, after the development and defense of the 10th-level spell "Gallard's Planar Expansion". Prefers to promote the research and development of new spells over other projects.
He is a WCHE but was only adopted by the Sunshadow family about a hundred years ago; he originally worked for the Order of the Nine Knights but quickly moved to the tower itself. He had invented and improved a large number of spells; Sunfire Tempest, Rune of Obliteration, Orb of Judgement, and Cloud the Mind are all his creations, and he was the creator of the current popular formulae for Invisibility, Flesh to Stone, and Simulacrum.
He is of average height (6'), thin, and wears whatever his wife, Idosine, buys for him, which is mostly shades of purple and blue with heavy golden accents. He carries Stormstick, a heavy knobbed staff that is highly polished, accented with gold filigree, and reinforced with a lead core.
