Thorion

Thorion was a Master Summoner at Roke School. It is mentioned that he would not teach Pelnish lore.
When Irioth, a teacher at Roke School, starting summoning live souls to take their power, Thorion helped Ged fight him. ("On the High Marsh")
Thorion's soul was sent to the afterlife where he met Ged and Arren. They directed him back to the land of the living. There are conflicting accounts of Thorion's death during the events of The Farthest Shore and Tehanu. The former reveals that he survived, and is present when Ged and Arren return on the dragon. The latter states that he died, "Dragonfly" reveals that he died in the moments after the dragon's departure, reconciling the two accounts. 
Despite his apparent death, his body still breathed, and before burial Thorion summoned himself back to his body. Thorion wished to become the new Archmage, despite the Master Patterner's prophecy that a woman from Gont would become the new Archmage. But Thorion's resurrection was undone when he tried to banish the woman named Irian from Roke. She challenged him on Roke Knoll and the power of the knoll turned Irion into a dragon and took the life from Thorion's body.
