Zell Brikdum

Professor Brikdum is a bit of a controversial character at F.L.A.M.E. Academy. Some students love him and rave about his hands-on teaching method and blunt humour. Other students consider Professor Brikdum to be too harsh, demanding, and strict. Those who are not the professor's biggest fan couldn't fail to notice that his last name phonetically sounds similar to the words "brick" and "dumb" in that order. Many jokes have arisen about Professor Brikdum's intelligence as a result, though it is always good to speak with caution...its rumoured that the professor took a student's ear once for a similar offence.  

It is well known that Professor Brikdum was once an active member of The Simera Guild, though no one seems to have the answer to why he decided to retire from the guild to become a teacher. There are plenty of rumours of course. Some students swear that they overheard him tell the story in Dapplewing Manor to other members of the faculty; that he lost his eye fighting a white dragon in Creation's End. Others whisper that he lost it to a demon in the Nine Hells. Some laugh behind their hands as they speculate that maybe it was a spiteful cat.
