born in central a long time ago. sought out the twins in the west to learn from them for a time, but went back to central right away after he felt he'd gotten enough out of it. has otherwise always lived in central all his life. in contrast to canon Figaro, has a base of inflexibility that he constantly questions (if I had been willing to compromise a little more here or there, would I have been able to accomplish more?) but can't let go of
instead of his village being wiped out by a natural disaster, they were wiped out by a vengeful wizard
believes in the duty of the powerful (wizards) to protect the weak (humans). accumulated power over the centuries to become able to defeat/control/eliminate wizards who pose threads to humanity
but he still prefers negotiations or other means when possible
works with Murr often. has frequently funded/sponsored his inventions and helped with production and distribution since they improve human quality of life
was previously prob in the top 3 for most magically powerful wizard in the world but halved his magic power in order to deflect a curse on Murr from Shylock
