Razavian Montierre is a human Archmage who serves the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Grand Alliance. He is the current Secretary of the Stormwind Academy for Arcane Arts & Sciences.

# Description

A figure who bears the aura of a stern and strict man, Razavian Montierre's actions often stand in stark contrast to his imposing visage. A kind-hearted, yet steadfast battlemage; Razavian's golden eyes betray the scars of a man who has lost a great deal, but yet has found much in the process of healing.

## Armor

Razavian typically garbs himself in the finery often expected of a mage; enchanted robes with runes stitched into the fabric or armor with enchanted runes etched onto the golden plating.

## Arms

The Archmage carries two weapons: a dagger and a staff. The dagger is kept close to the Archmage, more a memento than anything else. He appears to hold it on his person as some sort of haunting reminder.

The staff is relatively simple, carved runes snaking its way up the length of the spell focus. At its top, the focus holds a crystal imbued with arcane power, floating softly within.

# History

Razavian Montierre was born on July 17th, 587 K.C. to the Montierre lesser noble house of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. He was born the first and only child of Lord Gaspar Montierre and Lillith LeRoque Montierre.

## Youth

Razavian remembers very little of his mother; the briefest flashes of memory playing at his conscious mind. Lillith LeRoque Montierre fell ill in October of the year 589 K.C. and passed away soon after. The young Razavian was raised for a large part of his youth by various governesses as well as his mother's sister Rosette, who became like a mother to him. Razavian became accustomed to seeing his father at meals and social events, but few occasions aside.

As the years passed, Razavian's father remarried; this time to a fellow noble lord Vardan Montierre. As Razavian was achieving an age better equipped to understand the politics and inner workings of the society they lived in, both Gaspar and Vardan began to take a more active role in Razavian's upbringing. Through this, Razavian became quite close with both of his fathers while still maintaining close ties to his aunt Rosette.

When Razavian came of age, he was proclaimed the heir to the Montierre household and their barony of Emberspire.

## The Grand Circle of Mages

Razavian's well rounded education paved the way for his admittance into the Mage Colleges of Lordaeron, where he studied and graduated years later. It was during his final year at the Colleges that he was approached by a charismatic Archmage by the name of Balthazaar Sodelis. This Archmage was a representative of the Conclave of an order of mages renowned for utilizing their magics in service to the crown and the protection of the realm. Their selective and mysterious admissions process remained out of the common knowledge and it had appeared that Archmage Sodelis had taken a keen interest in him.

Upon Razavian's graduation, he was brought before the Conclave of the Grand Circle of Mages, where Archmage Sodelis vouched for the young mage's sharp mind and fineness of character. After a lengthy interview and trial process, Razavian was made an official Novitiate of the Grand Circle of Mages.

As the years passed, Razavian was taken under Archmage Sodelis' wing, even going so far as to be officially made his apprentice. Razavian learned much from the Archmage, including the further subtleties and intricacies of politics.

## The Third War and the Fall of Lordaeron

The Grand Circle was sent to aid in the investigation of what appeared to be a rogue mage's spell gone awry within the nearby lands. However, as history would come to show, such a thing was far more than a simple spell gone wrong.

The dead rose and walked the lands, tearing apart the kingdom of Lordaeron piece by piece. Even as the kingdom's own beloved Prince Arthas Menethil turned upon his own people and father, Razavian made haste to Emberspire to aid in the protection of his family.

When he arrived, he found a land set ablaze; the house guard proving ill equipped to stem a veritable tide of walking corpses. --WIP--

### Calista Orlaith

Great Granddaughter of the 4th Grand Master of the Grand Circle of Mages, Calista Orlaith has ever been a loyal and trusted supporter of the 7th Grand Master. These two have gone through many trials and tribulations together, reaching a close level of rapport that Razavian shares with few others. As a confidante and retainer, Calista Orlaith has proven herself to be a dependable friend.

During the events of Death's Shadow, a sense of mortal unease prompted Razavian to better appreciate the Battle Sorceress and endeavour to treasure those close to him... while he still could.
