The wily wizard known as Zanzildar has served as the Emperor's chief wizard for a number of years and has served faithfully during this time though his true ambitions are as yet unknown. Little is known of Zanzildar's background other than that he was born in a small town in the Duchy of Sutherlin and moved to Meridia when he was still young along with his parents. He received extensive training in the arcane arts at the prestigious Imperial College of Wizardry in Primus as well as a sabbatical at the College of Arcane Arts in the City of Arcania.

Description: Zanzildar is a elder Aldari human male with gray hair, a short gray beard with moustache and dark eyes. He tends to walk with a slight stoop due to an injury suffered in a past battle (one which the wizard will not talk about). The wizard is 5'9" and weighs 139 pounds. He is 61 years of age.

Personality: Zanzildar appears as a calm and somewhat emotionless individual at most times, almost unattached from those around him. He has few true friends yet he is adept at the arts of conjuration and enchanting others to bend to his will. The mage is a true introvert and prefers small groups or even better to remain in solitude in this private chambers. He is highly intelligent and can be most persuasive when he needs to be. He is certainly a highly ambitious mage and is also an avid collector of ancient manuscripts.
