Pei Zhing

Magus Pei Zhing was a wizard from Sung Xuo who immigrated to Trynser City and set up the Shining Luck Mages Guild in Delctra's Cauldron Borough of the city's Paytern Hill Ward.
== Career ==
He worked for hire, though he charged exorbitant rates as he was one of the most capable wizards that one could hire. His reputation as a successful mage was so high he could charge a great deal just for a consultation before he did any work, and even then the consultation was usually held by one of his assistants. He did do charity jobs, usually about one a month, but these were things he found must be done on his own. He did NOT answer charity requests. He had also been known to waive the consultation fee if one brought him a spell he's never seen, not an easy task.
He was a human of Sung origin, who was apparently over 150 years old, and was still pretty spry. One could still discern the smile on his face through the labyrinth of wrinkles. Pei Zhing had a few die-hard strands of white hair on his head and had amber eyes. He wore traditional Sung robes under his lush velvet smoking jackets and top hat. He smoked an ornate Sung pipe. If not in his home or office, he could often be found in the café of The Paper Grotto, a book store in the lower floors of his office building.
== Family ==
He married his first wife at 40 years old, she was 20. She died 40 years later. He mourned her deeply for all his life, and he wandered the world for five years after she died. He ended up in Trynser City after that, second wife Fatima in tow. She was married at 20, he was 85. They were married for 35 years before divorcing. She lived in Rastibaltaer after that, a wizard of some note. He called her ex-number one. Ex-number two was a Sung girl from Trynser City named Luang, who married him at his 130th birthday party. This lasted less than four years. The latest wife, Astoria, married him in 1734.
He had 10 sons, 12 daughters, oodles of grandkids and beyond. He outlived many of them. Some of them were members of his guild.
