Damascus is not just a mage, but the mage that helped found the Seikleja, one of the most prestigious and currently under-staffed adventuring guilds that travel from dimension to dimension in search of artifacts, profit and honor. Both are known by many nicknames.
Damascus is surprisingly weird, with a collection of habits. He was a performer for a traveling circus, giving him lean muscles underneath the magical coat he wears, a gift from the Arch-Mage of his previous university, blue eyes with a hint of intelligence hinging on insanity and long brown locks.
Damascus is skilled in the magical talents of Cryomancy, Pyromancy and Summoning and Illusion. His companion makes up where he lacks, whereas he is talented with the sword, that's as far as he can go, he could never beat a skilled swordsman alone, and his companion likes to jokingly remind him of that on a daily basis. Honestly, if one were to ask Damacus why he didn't use a staff or a wand, he couldn't tell you, a lot of what he does is on the spot with little or no afterthought.
Items:
Sword: A 6' inch steel blade with leather scabbard and hilt. Nothing impressive, it's a little blunt on one-side and has a circle in the middle of it, just above the hilt.
Scrolls: Parchment paper perfect for writing things on.
Puzzlebox: A small box that looks like a bronze, overcomplicated Rubix Cube.
Cloak: A magically immune clothing item, perfect for shielding against rival magical blasts and protecting against glancing sword blows.
Filled Alchemy Potions: Because the blue liquid founded by alchemists actually works from time to time.
