Character Notes
This character believes that the answer to the Enigma lies in Twilight. Unlike some other Criamon magi, though, they are not focussed so much on experiencing Twilight for themselves (although that does feature), but rather on investigating and recording the Twilight experiences of many magi to analyse them for patterns and other insights.
This rather esoteric research has one little problem interrupting it. When the character’s parens took them as an apprentice, they were the fifth son of a noble lord, and therefore relatively inconsequential. Unfortunately since then all of their elder brothers have died in various ways, leaving them as the sole clear heir to a strategically significant holding. If they do not take up their inheritence upon their father’s death, there is likely to be war as competing factions attempt to install various cousins, devastating the area and its people. If they do take up their inheritence, then not only will it be very hard to avoid mundane interference and other inapt actions, but it will seriously cut into their research time.
Customisation Notes
The character can take a further two points of flaws and an equivalent number of Virtues. Gentle Gift could be swapped out for other Virtues if you want to make the character’s inheritance issues even more tricky. Latent Magical Ability could also be easily swapped for another virtue.
