Layos

An old male human wizard with a long white beard and piercing blue eyes. He wears tattered robes that seem to absorb light, and his fingers are stained with ink from years of writing. His spectacles rest low on his nose, and he often has a scroll or book in hand.

Merald is wise but cantankerous, often grumbling about the foolishness of youth. He has a deep love for knowledge and a disdain for ignorance. Though he appears grumpy, he has a soft spot for Lena and those who want to learn.

Merald is a reclusive old wizard who has dedicated his life to the service of the royalty of Aurora. Living in a dusty old house filled with ancient tomes and scrolls, he spends his days reading and studying, often losing track of time. Once a powerful sorcerer and Aurora's royal mage, he now prefers the company of books over people, although he takes care of Lena as it was her parents last wish. Despite his solitude, he is always willing to share his knowledge with those who seek it, albeit in a gruff manner.
