Description

Personality

Argile is a brilliant man, and often outspoken. His words are not meant to humiliate others, but to teach. He thinks himself a masterful tutor, but often speaks in riddles and cryptic quizzes that serves only to baffle his students. He loves a good joke, hard drink, and jolly time, but when things get serious, he is a dangerous force. As a member of the Ludark family, he is free with his money to the less fortunate, belying a very generous, loving nature.

Equipment

His staff is carved from an ancient oak tree, blessed by the Elves. The wood is coated in a brilliant sheen, with fine oils soaked into the wood to give it great strength and resiliance. His robe hardly appears to be anything fancy, but in truth it holds deep pockets for his spell components, and is highly resistant to fire magics, thanks to the Drow Blessing. If one were to empty his backpack, they would find it full of things that make no apparent sense. A fork, a small metal tin, some blank parchment papers, an empty ink vial, a pen made of rat bone, some feathers, a dozen crumpled up leaves, a few twigs, and a small cloth.
His real valuables lie inside the cloak, where his money is stashed, as well as various spell components, including rare minerals.

History

Argile is the uncle of Benon Ludark. He left his home when he was young, to learn the arts of magic from anyone who would teach him. In fact, his travels have often left him with a profound sense of destiny, and a slight quirk that he rambles on about meaningless things. He studied magic under the Elves, Drow, and even learned tricks from the Catia. His brewing is some of the finest, taught to him by Dwarven Smiths. He is, without a doubt, a man of such varied tastes, personalities, that alone he could put on a show. Argile returned to his home upon hearing of Benon's birth, his feet guided by the god WinRiech. He interpreted the vision Benon had when he was but a boy, and knew it held great promise of both salvation...with a price.
