A vizier and wiseman in service to a desert warlord. As a youth, he discovered an innate magical power and wished to hone it. In his search to do so, he sought out beings of myths, knowing that if his magic was real, so too were they. For 30 years, he found himself in the service of an old criosphinx, learning and experimenting. When he felt he was sufficiently trained and focused, he bid the sphinx to leave and find his own worth in the world. The sphinx agreed so long as he returned every three years to aid them.
