Rufus R. Bainbridge

==Seeking a bit of Magic in life.==
Not satisfied with the martial path set before him in life, Rufus sought adventure through a different lense. 
In 1023, having worn down his father (a minor feudal knight from the township of Crowsmere) with the assistance of his mother, Rufus ventured forth with one crown, six bandages and a staff, seeking adventure. 
When his father finally acquiesced to his request to become a mage rather than a feudal knight like him, Sir Ruediger gave him his start on the adventurer's path with a letter addressed to one Sir Lars Laurentius of House Canis. The letter, a plea from the old knight to Sir Lars, petitioned the famed adventurer to allow his son to study under his court mage. For if his son were to learn magic rather than swordplay, then he at least best do so from a wizard in service to a feudal household.
It was in this way that Rufus would seek Sir Lars and his court mage Jax in Lynn Regis, on a mild Thawing day, to deliver this letter and start his new life.
Following trial and tribulation on his first ever adventure, Master Jax would accept Rufus as his apprentice. 
Traveling to Norvic with the patronage of his new master, his application to officially join the guild was accepted at the guild tower in Norvic. His permit signed by no less than the famous Judge and Master Wizard Pobbin Toadhunter! 
His soulfire awakened, Rufus would move to stay with Jax at his establishment known as 'The Hound in the Hat' in the Theodeforde region. Here, he would start his study of the arts of magic with his new master whilst also helping around the inn in his spare time to pay for his keep.
Jax's first task for his new apprentice - purchase a stalwart hat.
