A young man who is a master of different kinds of magic, Arcane, Dark, Elemental, and even just the slight of hand stuff. He uses runes for more powerful spells, but can cast spells without even saying a word.
He is a kind and caring person who will die for his friends. He can be soft spoken at times and can be shy, but if you get to know him you will be fine.
He carries a quarter staff. Using that to his advantage, he uses his magic to change the size of the staff so it makes for easy carrying. The quarter staff is made of a lightweight adamantium kind of metal, practically indistructable.
His parents were very powerful mages, knowing multiple forms of magic. But, they were too kind and let too many people get close to them. One of these people aparently had a death warrant out for the two of them and managed to kill them. Terrus learned the magic in spite....he has seen the dark side of using magic for the wrong things, he has seen what it does to people, and its not pretty. Ever since then he has not needed to say the spells for them to work, he just has to think of them. Learning more that his parents ever have, he has turned out to be wiser and calmer than most other mages.
