Monty Hoheim

Monty Hoheim is a human wizard, the father of Forrest Brightmane, and husband of Amber Brightmane. He was the original owner of the Green Thumb Apothecary. 
Monty was born in the Kingdom of Kurosekai before the Scientarian Revolution. He studied at Graceside University, a magical institution on Graceside Lake south of the city, with a focus in plant magic. He met Amber during an intercollegiate conference where Amber was coming to speak. The two hit it off and ended up marrying and settling in Kurosekai, starting up the apothecary shop. They soon had a son, Forrest, and all seemed like it would be smooth sailing until the Scientarians took over the city. Monty was able to hide his arcane gifts and passed off Amber as the main source of all of the shop's magical qualities. As a druidic elf, Amber was treated more tolerantly than most in the city under Alek Tellumnar's leadership. Despite that, Monty was eventually conscripted into the Scientarian Army. He was sent into the Whispering Woods on a mission to kill an elven necromancer that was resisting Scientarian demands to surrender. Monty was horrendously cursed by having his body and spirit trapped in a black gemstone, which was left forgotten at the site after the mage was slain. He left his young son and and wife believing he had died all that time. He languished in stasis for the next 28 years, during which time the old necromancer's castle was turned into the laboratory of the Spirit Weaver. She eventually gave the gem with Monty's body and soul contained within it to Rocco and Forrest as payment for ridding the woods of the demonic threat that was disrupting her research. Rocco smashed the gem, bringing the trapped Monty back to life. 
After being restored, Monty reconnected with his wife who still deeply loved and missed her husband. He moved back in with her in Augsburg, before taking up a temporary post back that the Green Thumb while Forrest was away on his journey to Oyashima with the Seekers of Divinity. Now free to practice magic openly again, he is living his life to its fullest.
