Astan Morea

Description
Astan Morea is a middle aged Etrian male standing 5'11" tall and 195lbs with long dark brown hair streaked with white. He is 51 years old but looks a bit younger and does not look frail or thin like many of his magic-using brethren. He is most often dressed in robes befitting a magicka and First Counsel to the king. He often carries a staff that is said to be magical. He is a powerful magic-user and has several apprentices that reside in the castle.

Background
Astan was born into a noble family in Summerwyn and as such was afforded the best education that money could buy. Once his Talent was discovered he was apprenticed under one of the most powerful mages in Etria. Once he was of age he began working for the king, Daros' father, who quickly saw his ability and supported his rise in position within the Etrian government. When Daros became king of Etria he appointed Astan as First Counsel.

Personality
Astan is level-headed, perhaps even stoic. He is diligent in his constant pursuit of increasing his knowledge of magic. He is not only well-versed in modern and ancient magic but is very intelligent in more mundane academic areas, a result of his first class education. He is perceived as a bit arrogant and impatient with those he deems less intelligent. Some say his cold nature is unnerving and question his loyalties to the throne.
