# Ged
_Sun Elf Wizard | [[Harpers]] | [[Waterdeep]]_
## Summary
Sun elf wizard who adventured with the [[Heroes of Waterdeep]] through the [[Xanathar Guild]], demonic invasions, and world-ending threats. Now teaches at [[Blackstaff Tower]] while serving as an agent of the [[Harpers]] and [[Force Grey]] — though misfortune seems to follow him. He assured the party nothing could go wrong when he activated the teleportation circle to [[Yartar]]; it catastrophically malfunctioned and scattered the heroes across the city. He had in fact been captured and imprisoned in [[Beregond]]'s [[Halls of Calamity]], and was freed by [[Petra]] after the party defeated [[Beregond]] and lifted [[Yartar]]'s curse of misfortune.

Quietly brilliant and patiently kind, carrying guilt over past failures. His teaching philosophy: understanding failure is the key to mastering magic. Mutters magical calculations when nervous.
## Quote
_"Magic doesn't demand perfection—it demands understanding. The most brilliant spellcasters I know study their failures more carefully than their successes."_
