Dorian is young... somewhere in his early twenties, and has a youthful sort of attractiveness. His dark brown hair is cut short and he keeps his face shaven. His clothes are emblazoned with the symbol of the Witchwardens of Sasserine, a circular shield with eight outward-pointing daggers.
Background:
Dorian Cavendish was a small child of about 5 or 6 when he and his parents moved south from Cauldron to Sasserine. Arcane ability had run strong in his family for generations, and his parents - both wizards in the employ of the Cauldron Town Guard - felt that Dorian could receive a better education among the Witchwardens of Sasserine.
They found a house in the Sunrise District (prefering the area over the vain Noble District) and enrolled Dorian in one of the many academies. A natural learner, he excelled at his studies and eventually earned a position at the Witchwarden Tower. He found his talents were best suited behind a book, researching about the various creatures that threatened the city from the vast Ameido Jungle. He took special interest in demon lore, believing that these beings from the Abyss posed the greatest threat to the world.
Through his research and study, Dorian uncovered many references to Cauldron and the threats of demonic armies from ages long past. Though he viewed Sasserine as his home, he always felt a connection to his city of birth and decided to return to further his studies.
Of course, research wasn't the only thing Dorian accomplished while studying with the Witchwardens. He also trained in the magical combat arts, learning to hone his powers for use against possible threats. Despite the reputation of transmuters as blowhards with something to prove, Dorian believed transmuation magic to be a tool of great utility. He didn't hold the popular choices of evocation and illusion in very high regard - nothing more than flashy effects designed to impress. Necromancy made him uneasy, though he did appreciate the work of enchanters. As a transmuter, he was most effective aiding others in combat... it was much easier to hide behind the big, beefy fighter after you doubled his size!
He's only just arrived in Cauldron and currently stays at the Drunken Morkoth Inn. He spends most of his time in the libraries researching various pieces of information about the city and the creatures that threaten it.
