![[LucianMargasterPathfinder-v1.webp]] # Lucian Margaster _Human Archmage | [[House Margaster]] | [[Neverwinter]]_ ## Summary Sociopathic archmage of [[Neverwinter]] and member of [[Dagult Neverember]]'s [[Sapphire Council]]. He tried to claim the [[Wave Echo Cave|Forge of Spells]] using [[Ianaro Albreck]] as his agent, and was formerly engaged to [[Nathaly Kormallis]] in what was plainly an abusive, controlling relationship. %% ## Now At [[Bryn Shander]] with [[Neverwinter]]'s delegation, cold toward the party and unimpressed by [[Lynne]]'s claim to the [[Cinderborn]] name. His apprentice [[Ianaro Albreck]] has spoken [[Reese]]'s name — a threat [[Aldous Redmaine]] flagged to Reese. Still pursuing lichdom out of terror of death. ## Appearance Piercing blue eyes, perfectly coiffed golden hair, impeccable robes hung with subtle magical trinkets. A smooth, cultured voice edged with condescension. ## Personality Arrogant, manipulative, consumed by ambition, with a dangerous habit of underestimating opponents. Beneath the confidence he is terrified of death, which drives his hunt for lichdom. ## Quote _"You mistake my patience for weakness. I've dissected minds far cleverer than yours."_ ## Connections **[[Nathaly Kormallis]]** — former betrothed; the relationship was abusive and controlling. **[[Ianaro Albreck]]** — agent he used to reach for the [[Wave Echo Cave|Forge of Spells]]. **[[Dagult Neverember]]** — followed him north to [[Neverwinter]]; serves on his [[Sapphire Council]]. ## Background Born into [[House Margaster]] of [[Waterdeep]], known for magical prowess and rumored ties to dark powers. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge brought him to the [[Red Wizards]] and what he believed was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and he followed [[Dagult Neverember]] north as Dagult consolidated power in [[Neverwinter]]. ## Stats [[Archmage]] - Intelligence 21; add necromancy spells. ![[Archmage]] %%
