## Physical Appearance

Archibald is described as a 5'4, average looking, Wood Elf.

## Pre-Campaign

Archibald was born in Sanctuary, The Capital of The Westwood, 79 years before Campaign 1. Unlucky for Archibald though, as the moment he was born, was the same moment that a rift, cut open from the World Tree, was closed by Harmon. This caused Archibald to gain an odd form of 'magic'.

During his life, Archibald was unable to properly learn any spells aside from the cantrip, Prestidigitation. This proved to be a problem as Archibald was in training to become a cleric. At some point, Archibald's younger half-brother, Atranon, a half elf, was born.

At some point, Archibald realized that he did not have normal magic, as he could copy spells from other magic users, all the way up to 9th level, and even above, though doing this hurts him.

When the Unreliables Law was passed in The StoneKeeper Empire, Atranon, who was now one of the Empire's Holdmasters, went to make sure his older brother was not caught. This lead Archibald and Atranon to Raesti, and to the boat 'The Gem of the Horizon,' actually called 'The Fogslip,' owned by Harmon.

## During Campaign

After a brief fight from a row boat and the boat of 'The Fogslip,' Archibald was dropped off by Atranon and was left in the care of the crew of 'The Fogslip.' Socrates offered to try and help teach Archibald on how to control his 'magic' while also studying it himself.

After a fight with two Sea Serpents, however, 'The Fogslip' began to sink, and with him not wanting to let the crew and the passengers aboard the boat, Archibald used Kiran's Misty Step to get them more close to the nearest land, Enshasla. While this did in fact get them close enough to Enshasla to be rescued, it unfortunately teleported everyone a month into the future. The party met up with Lorelei, who they found out about the time skip from, and boarded her ship, The Bordelaise.

Eventually, The Crew make a stop on a lone island in the middle of the ocean, in an successful attempt to try and get into a conference that was being held in Shadesteppe, Twink claimed to be the ruler of the country 'Twinktania'. To further prove the then lie to Maya, Archibald claimed the island they were on was a part of Twinktania.

Soon, The ship finally made it to Shadesteppe, just in time for the conference. However, after one of the conference meetings, The representatives of each country were attacked by the Cult of the Starlost, where the party found out about their doubles, who were apart of the cult and had lived through the month they missed. Dolus' double, Illiac, was killed. One of these attacks was successful, and the Emperor Nolan was killed. After Lotes' double, known as The Nameless, distracted Lorelei to get her away from the ship, The Party's doubles attacked the ships in the harbor, and Archibald attempted to fight off the Starlost. He failed. Starlost Kiran and The Nameless then kidnapped Archibald.

After his kidnapping, Starlost Kiran proceeded to use Archibald's magic to kidnap many citizens of Tiak, to use them for making ships for the Starlost. From inside a meta-plane in Tiak, The Party got to briefly communicate with Archibald, where it was seen that he was chained to the floor in an unknown location. Much later, during the war of The Westwood, Archibald managed to communicate with Lotes, to warn her of Twink the Great's, Twink's Starlost double, weapon. Later in the war, Twink the Great was killed.

Weeks later, After the coup of Eubuea was over, where Sock's Starlost double, The Hound, was killed, Twink was astral projected to Archibald's location, Archibald's current condition was revealed to be worse than what was originally thought, as his hair had been shaven, He looked as though he hadn't eaten much, and he had a few scars across his body and face. After some short investigating, it was revealed that He was being kept under the Ravenloft Mountains, which was the base of the Cult of the Starlost.
