Albright the Wary

Albright the Wary was a legendary Galiard Mage, famous for his deep knowledge of many diffrent schools of magic; most notably Archaic Magic, Summoning, and Illusion Magic. He was also a renowned historical scholar, and was caretaker of the few historical manuscripts which the Galiard still had intact when they arrived on the shores of Haven.

He was a major player in the War of Ages, at one point using his illusions to single handedly fool an entire army of Tainted into thinking that they were under attack, giving the United Races under the Command of Cenhelm the Vigilent enough time to arrive and counter attack at the Battle of Bewilderment.

His most famous deed however took place after the war. Shortly following the establishment of the Empire, Albright was given permission by his now close friend Cenhelm to use a large, though abandoned, citadel on an island neighboring the Imperial City as the base for his new &quot;Arcane University,&quot; a center for magical study and practice, as well as a place to hold the various historical documents of Haven and beyond, so that the tragic loss of history at the great migration of Humanity would never happen again. He was thusly the first Arch-Magister of the Arcane University.

The rest of his life was spent in the perfection of his new institution, as well as the acquisition of historical documents with which he could populate his massive library. He was known to have many more adventures while searching for the documents and manuscripts, all of which could not be listed here. However, he lived to an extraordinary age and died in his sleep in the Arch-Magisters quarters of the University.

How He Got the Name
The title "the Wary" came to Albright after his establishment of the Arcane University, and it was actually given to him by his pupils at the institution, who would call him this in referance to his grave demeanor. Although he was known to be a serious man, he was also a man of good humor and spirits, exemplified by the fact that he chose to keep the slightly humorous name in the first place.
