==Biography==
Ankolm was born in Il Serine to a family of mages and scientists. He was enrolled in a very prestigious mages' school at an early age but initially struggled; it was only when he began to experiment with the alteration of spells that his true brilliance attracted the Headmaster's attention. At age twenty, he began his apprenticeship under Court Magician Alessine Calthi and was named her successor ten years later. 
Ankolm spent much of his apprenticeship traveling the world and earned a reputation as something of a hero, although he denies any heroism on his part. Many parts of Chiomar still regard him very highly. 
== Relationships ==
=== Mirza ===
Ankolm met Mirza while passing through the small village of Keswen. Noting Mirza's innate magical talent, Ankolm asked to take him to the capital to serve as his apprentice. He has an almost paternal relationship with Mirza and hopes to pass on the title of Court Magician to him.
