Aerthalas

A male half-elf with sharp features and piercing green eyes, Kaelen has long, unkempt black hair that falls over his shoulders. He wears a dark, tattered robe adorned with symbols of storms and lightning, and his fingers are often stained with ink from his constant writing and research. He carries a staff topped with a crystal that crackles with energy, a testament to his mastery of storm magic.

Kaelen is extremely cautious and suspicious, often speaking in riddles and avoiding direct answers. He has a sharp wit and a keen intellect, but his fear of betrayal makes him reluctant to form connections. He is fiercely protective of the secrets he holds, often resorting to elaborate traps and wards to keep intruders at bay.

Once a promising scholar of the arcane arts, Kaelen's life took a dark turn when a betrayal from a trusted colleague led to the loss of his family and the secrets of storm magic. Now, he resides in the Vault of Gales, surrounded by ancient tomes and artifacts, fiercely guarding the knowledge he has left. His paranoia has grown over the years, making him distrustful of anyone who approaches the Vault, believing that they may seek to exploit the power he protects.
