Name: Velectriel Nathalan, The Ruby Sage
("To those with a lazy tongue, you may refer to me as "Vel." Many have already presumed to do so.")
Alignment: N (with the occasional good tendency)
Race: Aasimar (Emberkin)
Class: Arcanist 12
Physical Description: Velectriel (Vel-eck-tree-el) is a lean man, medium in stature, frail in build. If his bronzed skin, glowing golden eyes, and his purpleish hair (that seems to be more fire than hair) didn't give away his celestial heritage, he would seem an Elf. His face is elongated and his ears pointed.
Vel wears long, simple robes, and the magic items he wears are simple looking to the point that they betray their sometimes powerful enchantments. He never goes without his reading spectacles, and is often seen sliding them back up his long and pointed nose. Especially when he's out doing the unenviable task of going out into the field, or as some call it "adventuring."
Background (Cliffs Notes Version): Vel is generally a socially isolated man, usually by choice. He has a thirst for knowledge like few in the world, and generally prefers to be in a good book. He started his career as a magical researcher with the Blakros museum. Amenopeus met him there, saw potential and pushed him to become a Pathfinder under his sponsorship. Vel mostly refused his offers, but eventually accepted, but only if Amenopheus took him as an arcane apprentice. There was still a great deal of magic that Vel could learn.
The rest is a history filled with dank tombs, terrible evils, and ancient secrets.
Vel helped destroy Aryana Tahari, cleanse the sage jewels of corruption, and in doing so, earned a position as a Jewel Sage. Vel was saddened to hear that the Ruby Sage was killed, and that their Jewel was shattered, so in a ritual that he asked the other sages to help him with, Vel recreated the Ruby, and took up the mantle of the reborn Ruby Sage.
An interesting note is that the ritual caused a physical mutation in Vel. His purple "fire" hair, and glowing golden orbs-for-eyes were now a deep crimson.
