![[LucianMargaster.png]] # Lucian Margaster _Human Archmage | [[House Margaster]] | [[Neverwinter]]_ ## Summary Sociopathic archmage of [[Neverwinter]] and member of [[Dagult Neverember]]'s [[Sapphire Council]]. Tried to claim the [[Forge of Spells]] using [[Ianaro Albreck]] as his agent. Formerly engaged to [[Nathaly Kormallis]] in what was clearly an abusive, controlling relationship. %% ## At a Glance Striking figure with piercing blue eyes and perfectly coiffed golden hair, exuding magical energy. Impeccable robes with subtle magical trinkets. Smooth, cultured voice with hints of condescension. Seeing him triggers painful memories for [[Nathaly Kormallis]]—[[Petra]] experienced these through their connection, hearing Nathaly whisper "Petra, I'm so cold..." ## Personality Arrogant, manipulative, consumed by ambition. Dangerous tendency to underestimate opponents. Despite his confident exterior, he's terrified of death—driving his increasingly desperate pursuit of lichdom. ## Quote _"You mistake my patience for weakness. I've dissected minds far cleverer than yours."_ ## Background Born into [[House Margaster]] of [[Waterdeep]], known for magical prowess and rumored ties to dark powers. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge brought him into contact with the [[Red Wizards]], with whom he struck what he believed was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Followed [[Dagult Neverember]] north when he began consolidating power in [[Neverwinter]]. ## Stats **Archmage** (MM 342), Intelligence 21, add necromancy spells %%
