Jovrdil Canthar

Jovrdil "Jov" Canthar is a 200 year old high elf from the ancient lands of Bossier. He thinks very highly of himself, and for the most part thinks others are far beneath him and in many cases, unworthy of his help or attention unless there is something for Jov to gain from the encounter. He is also quite large for an elf, and is sometimes pestered about his weight from other elves, even though by human standards he is actually very fit.

As a young man, he longed for knowledge of the arcane and spent many as a youth reading of about the arcane, the history of the world, and the astral plane. As an adolescent, he searched for many years for a worthy master to train him in the arcane arts, and for many years could not find a master “worthy enough” until he met an old man named Patrizio in the ancient elf city of Pau. Patrizio enthralled Jov with a box that Patrizio said contained a “gift from the gods”.

After several years of study, Jov was quite unimpressed with his progress as a mage. Jov decided it was time to leave after a mysterious dream haunted him for several weeks, before setting out, he stole his master's magically sealed box. He took another thing from his master, something that he has carried on his staff since he left.

Jov at the end of the day cares nothing for others, he sees only pawns to advance his own skill, or serve in his master plan. He seeks only power, the only thing that truly matters to him.

Upon his arrival to Akoon, he was put into a group of adventurers tasked with retrieving an amulet for Lord Kriv Turap in Grova. Upon meeting Captain Roaric in Outpost Pyrgua and later in Islamp, Jov and he took a disliking of each other. After returning the amulet to Kriv Turap, Jov and the others were granted access to Kriv's Grand Library. On a following mission on the return from Outpost Estra, Syralth put his companions to sleep and had a one on one conversation with Jov. She has taken a particular interest in Jov and tends to give him additional information that she would withhold from the other adventurers she is training. After trying to sabotage a drinking contest between Brah Meng and The Admiral, so Delkarian and Bruh Meng brother tied Jov to a flag pole as a cruel prank. On the group's way to Burang, they encountered the distraught Cocoa Chanel and were tasked with retrieving her husband. Jov convinced her to reward the group with a bag of holding. After successfully diverting the party from a blood magic death trap in Gamma 5, they retrieved the body of Christopher Chanel and made their way to Burang to see the Mrs. Chanel to safety before going back to meet Syralth. Uponreturning to meet Syralth again, they found her missing her arm due to being ambushed. Jov saw to her checking into a hotel in Burang and spent the evening with her. During this time, he also found and purchased a skull laced speedo. From Burang, Jov and his allies were hired by Landon Wayne to deliver a package to Sam Gibbs in Belu. Upon arriving in Belu, Jov entered into the Under Dome in the Magi Events against the Red Mage. He burnt the Red Mage's body to bone after killing him and saving Hope from being mulched alive.

He enjoys collecting various skulls from fallen enemies and putting them on his staff.
