Decanian Atresius
Young mage came in Elbion looking for knowledge and wisdom within the tomes of the College.
Appearance
Pretty short and of average constitution, Decanian doesn't have an intimidating presence.
His shy brown eyes are mostly lost in the heavy tomes of the academy; when he glances up, however, the sunlight fills them with green sparks.
A straight, regular nose and soft lips of a small mouth complete his face. Clean shaven, he often seems younger than he actually is.
The pale hue of his skin is coherent with his job, staying mainly in the dusty, obscure aisles of the College library.
His straight, black hair is almost entirely covered by the large hood of his white woolen overcoat. He usually wears black or dark blue cotton tunics of refined workmanship and elegant leather boots.
Two cross-shaped silver pendants adorn his waist.

Skills and Abilities
Divine magic
As a follower of the Trinity of Light he harnesses the deities' energy mainly to heal the wounded in the Healing Halls or to dispel evil curses and malicious entities.
Squire of the Knights of Anathaeum, sometimes he has to leave the peace of his tomes to join his fellow knights as the main healer.
College magic
Many years buried in the halls of the College made Decanian a history loremaster and a highly accomplished in the magical disciplines that the academy studies. A strong, innate arcane aptitude makes him a rapid learner and an exceptional student. The alchemy, for his chagrin, is a field in which his prowess fades.
Staff
When he escorts the Order knights on a quest or ventures in an ancient ruin to dissipate a centuries-old curse he always wields a healing staff. 6.5 ft. long, made of black and white sections of finely engraved wood, the staff ends with a white, golden-glowing globe. The artifact allows Decanian to cast healing and offensive spells with a limited use of his own magical energy.
Ward
Decanian is capable, by extending a hand in front of him, to harness his arcane energy to generate a solid ward. Golden and bright, the ward is effective against magical and elemental attacks but does not protect against physical assaults. The more powerful the attack launched, the more magical energy is needed to keep the ward intact. The ward can be extended to protect other individuals but becomes weaker and more difficult to sustain.

Personality
Decanian is quite introverted, prefers listening to talking and finds his perfect place in the silence of the College library. Sometimes his shy behaviour is mistaken for insecurity but the truth is that he deems his books more interesting than the majority of people.
Nevertheless, he deeply loves humanity: the strong faith in the Trinity of Light is a cornerstone of his life and he tries to embody all the aspects of his cult. The value of charitable acts and the goodnees as ultimate goal as taught by Aliandra, the importance of wisdom and culture represented by Seelah and the relentless hatred for evil of Tancred.
His mother's heritage makes him intrinsically ethnocentrist if not almost xenophobic, a trait that he struggles to suppress not always succeeding. He doesn't really despise other races but he thinks that the human civilization is superior. His ultimately good personality, however, linked with his oath to the Trinity, pushes him to treat everyone, human and non-human, with the same mercy.
His compassion entirely fades when he challenges evil warlocks and dark cultists, creatures that he deems responsible of the moral decay and subsequent disappearing of his sister.
