Placidus ex Mercere
Placidus is one of the most active members of the Weissdorngilde. He loves all beings magical: Where others see dangerous giants and deadly giant spiders, he sees potential friends whose habitat is shrinking. He uses his Gift to be closer to these creatures: to speak with them, to assume their shapes and to protect them from human encroachment.
This is a source of irritation to his house, who would like him to take a more active role in the protection of redcaps and the duties of his house. He helps them out grudgingly.
Story types:
- encounters with and defense of all sorts of magical beings (kind of like Hagrid)
- the duties of a mercere magus (e.g. protecting redcaps)
