![[KolbazNew.webp]] # Kolbaz _Human Wizard | [[Harpers]] | [[Yartar]]_ ## Summary Cantankerous elderly wizard who guards [[Yartar]]'s teleportation circle for the [[Harpers]]. A former treasure hunter bound by a life-debt to the gold dragon [[Aerosclughpalar]], and former mentor to [[Viro|Viro Magnus]]. Killed by [[Decima Iscitarn]] during her attack on the Tipsy Scholar, then resurrected by [[Garaele]] and [[Viro|Viro Magnus]]. %% ## Now Guards [[Yartar]]'s teleportation circle for the [[Harpers]], newly returned from death at [[Decima Iscitarn]]'s hands. ## Appearance Elderly, dark mahogany skin, a meticulously trimmed white beard, wire-rimmed spectacles he constantly adjusts. Threadbare robes with countless labeled pockets. ## Personality A curmudgeonly exterior over real dedication to the [[Harpers]] — forced servitude to [[Aerosclughpalar]] turned, over decades, into committed preservationism. He is intellectually arrogant, surprisingly witty, and quietly proud of the fifty-seven Harper services on his tally board. He has a soft spot for mentoring promising young wizards. ## Quote _"Yes, yes, another band of so-called 'heroes' blundering through my teleportation circle. Do try not to explode anything important."_ ## Connections **[[Viro|Viro Magnus]]** — former student; helped resurrect him. **[[Garaele]]** — called on divine intervention to bring him back. **[[Aerosclughpalar]]** — gold dragon who spared him; the source of his life-debt and his amulet. **[[Decima Iscitarn]]** — killed him during the attack on the Tipsy Scholar. ## Background **The Life-Debt:** A former treasure hunter who looted elven ruins until the gold dragon [[Aerosclughpalar]] spared him fifty years ago in exchange for a life-debt of service.
