Astrophel Marben

Astrophel Marben is the youngest of the Marben family. His talent with the Arcane was witnessed by his high elf tutor, who never lets him forget his great potential. 
==Physical Traits==
His skin has a rich dark brown hue and is luckily free of any scars from physical training or battle. He is average height and slightly lean however he is good shape due to the strict physical routine he keep himself under.
He face is rather young-looking despite the heavy facial hair. His mother often reminds him he has the cheeky grin of his father. 
===Hair===
Astrophel’s baldness is a hairstyle he has since he was a child. Growing up mostly in the desert, Astrophel’s hair was usually cut to help keep him cool. Upon improving his skills in the Arcane, Astrophel has learnt to remove the hair on his head permanently using magic. The rest of his body hair is dealt with, or not, manually.
==History==
Astrophel was born into a family of gypsies. The Marben Troupe travelled western, eastern and south-eastern Kalimdor. From a young age of seven, he did what he can to help the Troupe. He did this until late-teens when coming across a high elf named Elsharin. She told him he was exceptionally gifted in the arts of the Arcane and offered to teach him (for a fee, of course). Proud to hear of such news, his parents happily saved up the gold to send their youngest to learn in the city of Stormwind.
Astrophel was taken to Stormwind by his older siblings; Sotiris and Khryssa. During their travels to the goblin port town of Ratchet, they were ambushed by a couple of trolls and orcs.
From there Elsharin put Astrophel through a lot of physical and mental tests.
After deeming him worthy, Elsharin sent him to Outland, to witness the horror that Arcane magic can bring; just reading the terrifying events in books or seeing the scars on Azeroth will never be enough. She made sure he witness the true destruction it brought to a once lush world, the corruption it can bring to a prosperous race. Astrophel travelled along the crumbling world, there he did what he can to restore broken settlements with the magical knowledge he knew and learnt from his travels. 
===Recent===
Today Astrophel has worked hard enough to travel the great city of Dalaran. There, he is a simple aide for the mages there. He is often sent out into the world for the rarer reagents of Azeroth, most cases from dangerous regions. Astrophel usually mixes hobby an$d work, and often travels the dark and deep places of Azeroth. He hopes to come across a wonder that then could be studied by himself and the other studiers of the Arcane.
Upon the discovery of the terrors that lie within the halls of the great Ulduar, Astrophel was eager to explore the ancient structure. However, to his dismay, he was ordered not to step foot in the place for his own safety. Astrophel obeyed with much disappointment , and often hung onto stories from the explorers and battle-mages that were sanctioned by the Kirin Tor to travel there. 
Astrophel’s woes were quickly outshone by the excitement of the Argent Tournament. Astrophel often spent hours out of duty to watching jousting matches and champions against their challenges in the arena. On some evenings, Astrophel and his sister supported their brother, Sotiris, who managed to get to get the Championship, but his group was defeated Menagerie of Northrend. 
Since then Astrophel has began to travel in-between times of duty.
==Occupation==
Astrophel was once a entertainer for his family troupe. However, since he has decided to study the Arcane arts he is learning greater things academically.
Now working under the Kirin Tor, he simply collects resources needed for experiments, teleportations, incantations, rituals, etc. These resources are usually artefacts doused in magic and power, and are often difficult to obtain, so he sent away for several days or weeks to retrieve them.
