Rubius posesses every trait that your typical Wizard might posess: the clothing, the staff, the knowledge, the beard, the hat - though he is no wizard. Rather he is an intellectual, a scholar, and a historian whos knowledge is deep rooted in Stormhale. He is highly respected and revered within Stormhale as perhaps one of the most intellectually astute beings to ever walk next to King Aelus. Physically he towers over most humans standing at an unusual six feet five inches, though this has not stretched him thin as he keeps in very well shape. His skin is caucasian and his hair is snow white, though not from aging rather from birth.

In short, what characteristics do they posess? Rubius is a mysterious man. He speaks mainly in poetry, metaphors, or in old stories when he's trying to convey a meaning. This is a result of his extroardinary intelligence, he knows many languages and an even greater number of stories by the ancient races that contrived them. He's somewhat of a loner, although he does not mind taking a stroll with somebody, he isn't antisocial. Rubius usually doesn't act out of place, nor is he a violent person at heart, although there are doubts among society about this. He is not mentally stable, as you might say. Certain things can set him off into an outburst. Rubius is loyal to his friends, and their causes, and gives them his undivided attention. He is always there to help, and is not afraid to accept death before dishonour for a noble cause. He will not disown you. He will not abandon you. He will not fail you. He would prove to be a worthy ally.
Perhaps Rubius' most notable trait is his mental stance on the Magi stones. He is is a proud Stormhale citizen and close to King Aelus, and can even serve as an advisor to Aelus at certain times, however he has very different views on the Magi stones. Rubius believes they should be kept, and contained for study, not destroyed. Rubius is fascinated with the idea of magic and does not think the magi stones in particular caused the dimensional rift.
A summary of their history would be... Rubius grew up on his own. He had no mother, no father, no relatives to take him in, not even foster parents. He remembers nothing of the first fifteen years of his life; which is unusual because he has extroardinary memory. He bought a house with [stolen] money in Stormhale when he was seventeen and has lived within Stormhale walls ever since. There was this urge deep in his bones that needed attending to, though - he felt the unescapable desire to research the ancients. He bought books, researched ancient civilizations, ancient languages, ancient practices and beliefs, ancient magics, ancient fighting arts. Everything ancient - he loved it. He hoped that, somehow, he would find what he was searching for although he did not know exactly what that was. Then one day he had found it - the magi stones. He had stumbled across a theory that there was a vault full of them that eminated pure magical essence. Immediately he had devled deeper and deeper into their mysterious history. Later, he bought his own "wizards tower" so you might say, just outside of Stormhale. This time, it wasn't with stolen money, it was on sales from books he had written on the Magi Stones. His profession was that of an author, he wrote many books on ancient civilizations and their practical modern teachings as well as the Magi Theory(a book focused directly around the magi stones). Today he remains a highly respected figure within Stormhale both as an ancient historian and as a scholar.
What equipment do they carry? Generally speaking Rubius is a pacifist. However, in times of crisis he will not hesitate to inflict serious damage with his stave skills. His stave is caked with extremely sharp metal spikes which can easily penetrate any hide or flesh. Aside from this he carries nothing but the original copy of the Magi Theory book that he authored.
Anything else? No.
