Leofrick is known to spend large amounts of time bent over his desk

**Leofrick CommonBrook** is A Skilled arcane wizard who happens to be undead.

## Description

### Appearance

Leofrick has grey skin with only patches of his original olive tone. What little hair he has left is thin and tuffed. He has missing chunks of flesh, including a large section exposing his left jaw bone, it is not unusually to see Leofrick scratching the exposed bone as he thinks about things.

He has many stitches and burn marks over his body after many accidents in the lab, his coordination isn't exactly what it was.

He is most often seen in large brown wizard robes, often as patched as he is .

### Personality and alignment

Leofrick is an incredibly intelligent individual, and dedicated to his work to a fault. From what Luanda says It was nothing to see him spend late nights and skipped meals on his work, but as he requires - or rather is *unable to take-part in* - neither rest nor food he will sometimes be seen at his desk for days on end, only leaving his chair to pace back and forth or consult a strange crystal ball.

If however you can catch him away from his work, he is quite chatty. Always interested to share what new projects he is working on, or discuss current affairs in the world that he doesn't wonder around much anymore.

He can also be found having games of dragonchess with Atur (or anyone else for that matter), and playing various card games.

### Religion

Leofrick prays everyday to Myrkul, Angel of the dead. While he and Luanda have not been able to say concretely either way - it is possible that a Miracle from Myrkul is what allowed Leofrick to come back from the dead.

## Skills and traits

### Languages

He speaks Common, Gnomish, Halfling and Celestial. And is willing to teach these to the party (10 weeks to learn - INT mod)

### Spells / Abilities

Knows a large variety of Wizard spells. Will teach Proficiency in Arcana (This takes 20 weeks minus one week for very positive INT mod)

He is also a skilled researcher, and can be seen for any arcane related questions.

## Home

Leofrick currently lives out his days in the UnderInn, however he has moved from many places first as a researcher and then out of necessity as few took to trusting. He worked for the Miskatonic University in Kruso for many years before he first died and even had a brief stay at East Lenion Collage in Northmoor.

But those were back in his glory days. Its easy to welcome a miracle undead when they are hiddern away in a back office and have coin to pay, harder to do so when their are being chased with pitchforks and torches. Leofrick has also stayed in many stables and roadside ditches in his time.

## Treasure / Prized Possessions

He wears his wedding ring, crushed out of shape, around a string on his neck.

## Relationships

### Family

His Father Brutice ran off at an early age, but his mother Apilla was reasonably wealthy and supported him and his, now estranged, sister Mirrium.

At the age of 25 he married Luanda, and have been happily married for 19 years now.

### Animals

Leofrick's familiar is a large earthworm whom he calls Horris. Horris is about three meters long and about as thick as a wine bottle.

Horris can frequently be found curled up on a bench resting his head on friends thighs. If anyone calls Horris gross Leofrick reminds them that "He is a distinguished gentleman"

## History

Born in Graia, the eldest grandson of renowned archaeologist and wealthy collector Errinda Commonbrook. He trained for a short time at The Athens Institute of the Arcane, but realized quickly he wanted to see more of Randore than Graia. He collected a number of qualifications and experiences at universities before settling in to research at the Miskatonic Univercity in Kruso.

In 20,105 he met his now wife Luanda Therris, when they were collaborating on a project. The Two wed three years later.

Not long after this Leofrick became deathly Ill. Unable to find a spell or potion to heal him Launda turned to her area of expertise, history and religion. After praying to every god she could think of she eventually got her hands on a number of ancient religious artifacts. During a complex healing ritual there was a powerful unexpected reaction and explosion of arcane energy. She was able to save Leofrink, but at a cost to both of them.

After this touch with oblivion, Leofrick was raised as a stable undead. He could no longer sleep nor eat or drink. After this he also found himself less welcomed than he had previously, with people tending to distrust him. He was able to find temporary sanctuary, and even had a brief stay at East Lenion Collage in Northmoor. But mostly spent his time on the road. Until he met was contacted by Xunnol.
