## Biography

Born on the Isle of Thagno, west of Citrile and north of Ra'Lush, Thagnos was abandoned on the as an egg but via happenstance he was discovered by the Guild of Raffles before succumbing to the elements. A year after his hatching he was adopted into the order as a Child of Raffles, and given the name 'Thagnos' in honor of the island spirits and deities whom had spared him. At the age of two he was given to the guild's Mage wing though an incident involving a gnome and a bag of holding ultimately resulted in him being shifted to the Wizard wing of the Guild. Having had no biological family members Thagnos grew up making friends with many of his fellow orphans, one [v was working here] named Tim (later Tim the Bold) came to become his best friend

## Description and Personality

Thagnos is unusual for a dragonborn in that he fights, not as a warrior, but as a wizard. Despite his anomalous status, Thagnos is a tremendously talented caster, focusing primarily on damage-dealing spells as well as more utilitarian ones. He generally tries to keep his distance from his enemies, using his magical skill to keep them at arm's length while he whittles away at their defenses. This strategy is a necessary one for him; Thagnos' magical skill is matched only by his frailty. Though the other members of the Wish's Chosen, even Arlo, have learned to roll with the punches over the course of their adventures, Thagnos' cloistered life has made him extremely physically fragile, despite his dragonborn heritage. Still, as long as the rest of the party is able to keep enemies away, Thagnos' magical abilities make him a force to be reckoned with in battle.

Physically, Thagnos is fairly short for a dragonborn, standing only 7'5" and weighing around 300 pounds. His scales are black and his horns white. His eyes are red, and his face is marred with a burn scar from a Death Knight's fireball that earned him the moniker "Firebrand." Like all dragonborn, he is strong and broad-shouldered, though not as strong as Kleitos, Rhogar, or Melthrax. Thagnos is known for his large, toothy grin and self-confident expression, as well as for his physical frailty.

Thagnos' personality fits his cloistered lifestyle well. He is outgoing and intelligent, but eccentric, stubborn, and lacking in common sense. At times, he fails to recognize basic social cues, similarly to Melthrax and Kleitos. Unlike these two, however, Thagnos has no qualms about continuing to talk beyond the point of awkwardness. That said, he is much more perceptive than he initially seems, and stands alongside Kleitos the Black as one of the more ruthless members of the party. Though he seems lazy at first glance, Thagnos works tirelessly to master the arcane arts, and the fruits of his labors are evident in his skill.

## Relationships

### Acroni the Thief

Acroni and Thagnos have an antagonistic relationship, though the details are somewhat scarce. It is assumed the two of them had some altercation during Thagnos' time with the Guild of Raffles, but Acroni has not yet appeared in the Wish Campaign.

### Mn'alla the Fortune-Teller

Mn'alla and Thagnos have a deep and long-lasting enmity, but similarly to Acroni, Mn'alla has not yet appeared in the Wish Campaign, and the status of his and Thagnos' relationship is currently unknown.

### Lloyd Raffles XI

As Thagnos' mentor, Lloyad Raffles XI has always had a close relationship with his dragonborn protegé. Lacking any knowledge of his biological parents, Thagnos latched onto Lloyd as a replacement father figure. The two have a strong bond that has persisted ever since, and Thagnos has dearly missed his mentor during his travels with the Wish's Chosen.

### Tim the Bold

Tim is Thagnos' best friend, and the two have engaged in numerous irresponsible activities together during their time with the Guild. As orphans, Thagnos and Time share a certain experiential bond lacking in many of the wizard's other relationships. Both of them are students of Lloyd Raffles XI, and as such have spent hours in each other's company, bonding over their work as much as their leisure time. Though Thagnos has not seen Tim since his departure from Krah-TeJah, it is assumed the relationship between the two is still a strong one.

### Arlo Bilberry

Thagnos has great affection for Arlo Bilberry, seeing him almost as a small cousin of sorts. The halfling's generally good spirit and magical ability impress Thagnos greatly, as does his strong moral compass, though Thagnos occasionally shakes his head at Arlo's reluctance to kill. That said, Arlo's convoluted and occasionally disturbing past trouble Thagnos whenever they're brought up, and he generally choose not to focus too much on the halfling's past.

### Melthrax

Thagnos sees Melthrax as generally good company, both on the battlefield and in the classroom. He is impressed with Melthrax's combat skills and the magical nature of his construction, but sees him as an asset first and foremost.

### Kleitos the Black

Like many, Thagnos finds Kleitos the Black overwhelming at times. The brooding warrior's sheer force of personality and lack of social awareness occasionally takes Thagnos by surprise. That said, he does appreciate Kleitos' bluntness, and is especially grateful for the Headsman's tendency to put himself in the way of the dangerous things that would otherwise be coming for him, and the two have a generally positive relationship overall.

### Rhogar

Thagnos sees Rhogar as something of a religious fanatic; he is deeply wary of the paladin's connection to both Mishakal and the Dust Mother. That said, Thagnos enjoys Rhogar's company, respecting his good cheer and leadership skills. The two recently learned Goblin from Melthrax together, and Rhogar progressed somewhat faster than Thagnos (to his frustration). As such, they developed something of a friendly rivalry, but remain on good terms.

### Isla Clearstone

Despite a bad first impression, Thagnos has developed a deep affection for Isla Clearstone during their time together. Her caring personality and the consistency with which she has rescued him from certain death have won her Thagnos' respect and admiration. By the time of her departure to Makitau, the two were on friendly terms, and Thagnos is hopefuly he'll see her again before he returns to the Guild.

### Void

Thagnos doesn't yet know what to make of Void. The tiefling's reticence has made it difficult for Thagnos to get close to him; however, Void has become a staple part of his everyday life, and despite his fearsome, daemonic appearance, Thagnos hasn't written Void off yet.

### Felix Summerthorn

Thagnos has not yet realized that Felix Summerthorn is, in fact, a halfling trapped in a ferret's body. As such, he generally finds him irritating, mostly for his tendency to fight with Char over scraps of food. It is unknown how his perceptions might change were he to learn the truth of Felix's condition.
