Matthemy Seragim

Name: Matthemy Seragim
Title: Academy Magnate, Prelate of Ephaesus' Sect

Appearance:
Matthemy has recently and stubbornly descended into old age. He is tall and thin compared to Halmorians but his build does not quite compare to the Atalan Born. Magister Seragim has a scowl perpetually plastered on his face.

Bio:
Matthemy has been a scowling bastard for as long as anyone in the Academy can remember. Though he is considered an intolerable curmudgeon there is no doubt that he is a brilliant researcher favored by Ephaesus. He has authored widely read dissertations that lay out the arcane foundations of Abjuration with considerations for the defense of Atalan and preventing an additional Long Night. The Auxili's Inspector Imperitor considers Matthemy to be a trusted and valued advisor.

Magnate Seragim is an outspoken opponent against the Academy's secular members. In his view, they are misguided, inefficient, and prone to error. Ephaesus, he says, has laid out humanity's path to discovery and any deviation from this path is hubris. Some of his fellow Prelates and Predicants have attempted interventions that would ideally end with a more polite and gracious Magnate. All such attempts have failed miserably.

Magnate Seragim has recently taken a number of mages to the mainland to fight in the Halmoria-Kalimvar War in a stunning reversal of Halmorian policy.

Matthemy fell in Atalan to a swarm of manifestations as magic failed during the events of the Summer 988IY.
