DESCRIPTION:
Azriel stands tall for an elf at 6ft 2in, but thin at a mere 155 pounds. Often leaning or clinging to the staff he wields, his long robe and wizard a near constant adornment.
Eyes of bright purple with black hexagonal pupils gleam from under the brim of his hat, a broad brimmed grey hat with a long crooked top, on those most rare of times when the hat is removed one can catch a sight of his bald head and long pointed elven ears. Rounding out his face is a long, mid torso, grey beard is thick and well maintained.
Among the other notable things about this grand Archmagi is the small swarm of Ioun storms that float about his head crackling with arcane energies, sometimes visibly so with a small bolt of purple lightning arcing between two or more.
BACKSTORY (while my damn code runs ... why is this taking so long?):
Born into a family of talented Wizards, my natural gift and understanding of the Arcane was quickly identified and spent much of my formative decades in libraries and universities the world over studying magic. From time to time questing with brave adventures for magic tomes, books of knowledge or other items, it was on one of these adventures that I contracted my 'Incurable Cough of Death' which has wreaked havoc upon my voice, and often has me coughing up blackened blood and ichor, the only thing that seems to keep it at bay is a foul smelling tea i regularly make.
On another such adventure I advised a group of brave adventures on the best way to summon and bind the demon Aaxuesohr, a demon of grate arcane prowess... oops? maybe shouldn't have been so trusting of the adventures who came through the halls of the libraries I visited and studied at. Turns out they were trying to unleash Aaxuesohr upon the lands, and I in my ignorance aided them in this quest. For years after I wandered the realm seeking Aaxuesohr and prevention Aaxuesohr's harm where I could, finally banishing Aaxuesohr. Unsatisfied with this meager work I traveled to the nine hells and did battle with the demon lord in his own realm finally slaying him and acquiring a few notable arcane treasures I keep with me to this day.
After years of such adventures i settled down in the grand city of Nighawn and became a respected and powerful Archmage running a library and university of great renown, rulers and sages come to me for advice and knowledge and my Unfathomable intellect is known wide and far.
But secretly part of my longs for a new adventure... it has been far too long since I cast spells upon a foe or summoned forth powerful entities to do battle on my behalf.
