Tharion

"'Knowledge is the key.'""-Tharion"Tharion Eldritch was a Mage from Breniel who helped the adventuring party that defeated Serelath the Insane. He's also credited as the inventor of the Potion of Angelic Essence.

Appearance
By the time the heroes meet Tharion, he's a 19 year old short and skinny teenager with black, long hair and blue eyes.

Personality
Tharion was friendly and helpful, always willing to help out others. He had a particular love for knowledge, and his Arcane Academy of Alduinia classmates described him as "kind of a nerd".

Childhood
Thar was the son of a peasant lady and a soldier. Although his family weren't exactly rich, they lived quite comfortably. Even as a kid Tharion was very curious, and kept a small collection of rocks, leaves and bugs he found around the house.

Death of His Father
When Tharion was twelve, his father was enlisted by the Brenielian Army to fight in the Battle of Valarda, against the evil Deminor and her undead troops. During the battle, he was killed by a wraith, leaving Thar and his mother alone. As his mom could barely pay the bills with what she harvested from their crops, Tharion decided to study hard in order to become a Mage and help his mother.

Arcane Academy of Alduinia
At age eighteen he was accepted at the Arcane Academy of Alduinia, where he excelled as a student. Although he was quite loved by the teachers, he wasn't very popular with his fellow Wizarding apprentices. When he was nineteen he came up with a genius idea: a potion using Silverblossom, a rare plant found in the nearby woods.

Meeting the Heroes
Knowing he wouldn't be able to retrieve the Silverblossom alone, he asked for the help of a group of adventurers who were visiting the Academy. When they succeeded in their quest and returned for the reward, a rookie student accidentally opened a portal to Baator, unleashing demons. With the help of the heroes Tharion brew the first Potion of Angelic Essency, which was extremely useful in the fight against the invading fiends. In recognition for his actions, Tharion Eldritch received his diploma, becoming the youngest Mage in the history of Breniel.

Legacy
He would later lead incredible advancements in the field of Arcanology, not only creating new potions and spells but also coming up with the theory that Mana comes from the solar radiation modified by Voruseh's moon Nittar.
