In his younger age he was a prominent sorcerer as well as a scholar. He was granted the title of lord professor at some point well he was being sponsored by the Viceroy of Cape Red. He was also part of the secret society dedicated to building a Mordish Republic and the mentor of Palo.

## History

Henrus Kline had a very successful and high profile career. He began his studies at the University of Pruzer and quickly found a patron after several expeditions into the Spiked Peaks. At some point later he moved to Cape Red and began working there under the Viceroy. While there he published several texts which became standard reading in many anthropology courses. It was in this position that he was granted the title of Lord Professor. Fulfilling his duties he taught there for several years before eventually going on a touring lecture series. He then went to Threnarau for another expedition before publishing several more books. He eventually moved back to Cape Red and became the head of the anthropology department at the cities public university. He worked there for many years until eventually going on a trip to the Southern Isles.

L.P. Kline played a non pivotal role on the expedition. During the storm on the third night he nearly fell out of the ship. He was saved by J’Kar who instead accidently knocked Sylvie out instead. He skipped the trip to Karabour due to his poor health. When the group landed in Crow’s Harbor he went off with Palo and a few sailors. He quickly ditched the sailors leading him and Palo off to gambling dens despite his students protests. The two were kidnapped by Iron Eye’s men and taken to a abandoned shop in the Chitin Forge. They were rescued by the efforts of Daxian, Sylvie, Feerik, J’Kar, Jack, and Leucy.

That evening Kline went with the group to follow the map from Karabour. Despite his poor health, Lord Keel insisted that he go to represent Keel’s interests. Kline walked through the crypt with the group. He noted the room containing six types of magic did not contain anything from Nezeril. He also collected all the relics on the floor with the help of Palo. During the time in the crypt he bought rum from Daxian. He began to drink it before the bottle was broken by Jack. Despite Kline’s protests there wasn’t much he could do.

Kline went on to stay in the hold during Iron Eye’s last stand. When he returned to Cape Red he parted ways with Palo and began to write a book.
