Archibald Allandra

Archibald Allandra is the last Grand Magus of Brightpoint and head of the Allandra Academy. He also becomes a high ranking member in the Aethean Movement prior to his death. One of the illustrious Allandra family, Archibald is a well-known figure throughout several of the Realms, especially the Greatwyn and the Grandlands, where his magickal exploits are respected by fellow magi.

Appearance and Character
Archibald is a relatively tall, lanky man, with long dark hair. He mostly keeps clean-shaven, but when he is forced to flee from the Greatwyn he starts to develop a short beard, which he dislikes. Archibald is quite pale, and always wears his trusty spectacles, which not only correct his sight but also allow him to see traces of arcane energy. Although his relaxed stance makes him appear at ease, in reality Archibald is always on the lookout for potential danger, a fact that only his eyes betray.

As Grand Magus, Archibald wears a dark blue cape and robes, and occasionally a cloak and hood when he ventures outside the Obelisk. The cape is an Allandra family heirloom, passed down since ages long forgotten. When travelling to the Lawless Waters, Archibald switches his trademark dark blue robes for a more restrained brown, so as not to draw suspicion. He retains this outfit during his time in the Aethean Movement and wears it during the attack on Carran Castle.

Archibald is an intelligent fellow with a keen grasp on magick. He often shuns those with lesser minds and finds it perfectly acceptable to be alone for prolonged periods of time. He has few friends in Brightpoint, although many know and fear him. While cold to strangers, to those he knows well Archibald is actually quite warm and friendly, with a dry sense of humour.
