Kumo Tetsubo

Kumo "Spider-Hand" Tetsubo was a "Wujen"/Elemental Wizard from Kodamai obsessed with the effects of Tattoo Magic. He is best known for having been loosely involved with the War of Deific Magic, for founding the Four Broken Horses School, and for being completely and utterly insane. A fervent worshipper of Dommah Rae, he refused to cast spells using Arcanic incantations even before the War of Deific magic rendered it safe not to do so, preferring to cast spells in the Sand Giant dialect used by his priests. This was not beneficial, and rendered the amplifying effects of his tattoos utterly worthless for most of his career, as all they could do was stabilize his spells so that he did not get pulled bodily (and extremely messily) through four simultaneously formed elemental gates. He also believed that in embracing insanity he gained powerful self-knowledge, and refused to curtail his own delusion-driven impulses. He once mistook a druid's squirrel companion for a deity, he insisted on wearing the traditional garb of a severe Eranos-native branch of the Faith of the Cycles at all times, and spoke with an accent that was deliberately and offensively thick despite fluency in Tellarian on par with that of a native speaker. He assisted in a minor capacity on several adventures relevant to the War of Deific Magic with various historical figures. Eventually he did experience a spiritual awakening, and gained divine power in addition to his arcane abilities.
