Personal Information

Appearance

Sammuel is small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite self-deprecating claims to life as a layabout, Sammy is most often found in functional clothes that show the stains and marks of adventure.

Personality

Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His boisterous laugh is often heard. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit and a nimble tongue. Whether this is employed to the benefit or the detriment of those around him changes by the moment.

Despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on Negaria. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, though this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages.

Abilities

Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a child prodigy. After mastering sorcery he began to study wizardry. This has made for a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. He is first and foremost known as an evoker, with an affinity to explosive flame. His research into evocations culminated in the spell "Sammuel's Arcane Destruction," or as it is colloquially called, "BOOM!"

History

Sammuel grew up an orphan in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Once properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly grew. They proved especially burgeoning for such a young age, and at times detrimental. The dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke their predicament loudest of all, often through singed beards.

Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's methods of negotiation.

Present Day

It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city (Mikona's Finest Playhouse).
