[edit] Description
LeVentNoir is a tall thin human. He has dark stormy grey hair and a wild and long beard. He is often seen wearing dark red or black robes. He carries a simple wooden staff, mainly for its purposes as a walking stick rather than a magical aid. Born in a far off unknown land over two hundred and thirty years ago, he has had training in all the elemental magics.
[edit] History
[edit] Early Years
LeVentNoir was first recorded at age ten, at Lightsbridge University under the name Devance. For 5 years, he studied general magic, before, at age fifteen, he was chosen to study under the masters WindWalker, RockBrow, RiverOtter and ForgeSteel. Under them he learnt the masteries of all four elements and how to combine them. An eager student, he progressed quickly, achieving journeyman status before age thirty five. It only took him another 25 years to progress to master. Upon attaining that rank Devance chose the name LeVentNoir, in reference to a spell which call up a flaming, rock filled, torrential typhoon. A purely destructive spell, it was titled "the black wind" or in the old tongue, "LeVentNoir".
[edit] Mastery and Outcasting
By this time he was a respected scholar, known widely in the country around LightsBridge. When he was 65 LeVentNoir took a ten year leave of absence, in order to travel the world and learn more. On his return, he was a changed man. LeVentNoir seemed determined to discover all he could, accumulate all the various tomes and items he could. He said he was close to unlocking "The Spindle". Spending ever longer hours researching this the other academia decided he was obsessed. They could find no mention of this bar one line in The Codex of Black Necromancy, a most foul book kept locked in the cellars. The line read "And as such, the spindle is essential, for without it all could be lost. But be wary, for the spindle will work with you or against you, and our work revolves counter clockwise." Upon reading this, LeVentNoir was apprehended and banished. Cast out of his home and sudy with naught but the clothes on this back, staff in hand and knowledge in head.
[edit] Wandering
After his banishment, LeVentNoir wandered the world for years. Few records exist but scraps are known. He was in the Kingdom of the Blessed Giant roughly 20 years after his banishment, where in return for defending the city against a barbarian horde, he walked out with the three most powerful magical items in the kingdom.
[edit] Imperial Wellington
Finally roughly 155 years after being exiled, LeVentNoir came to a rural deserted area, with only a simple village. Arriving there he proclaimed he rule and moved into the over looking castle, once owned by a foul necromancer. He resides there still, clearing out the abominations that exist there and continuing his research.
While attending The_Rialla LeVentNoir meet Ruathoz who gave LeVentNoir a new staff in payment for being able to live in the castle and learn along side LeVentNoir.
[edit] The Dark Elves
LeVentNoir grew weary of the pathetic nature of the men under his rule, they simply accepted their place in the world. LeVentNoir took Ruathoz north to meet the elves, living with them for a time, yet growing tired of them as well. Moving further north again, he reached the city of the dark elves, the ones who had been thrown out of normal elven culture. he usurped the queen and the dark elves recognised him as the new ruler, fir they saw only the strong fir to ruler and LeVentNoir had proven he was stronger. Taking control of the Empire of the Frozen Spear, LeVentNoir now looks to higher goals.
