Arkat Alumnus

Player: Mike Holmes

Background: Exalian is from a displaced noble Galvosti family. Since arriving in the vicinity of Syran, they've managed to obtain positions in the Masons guild, but his family still has the urge to power. The family fortune has been put behind their most promising son, Exalian, who has been sent to the Imperial College of Syran (because it was cheapest) in order that he might find the power to raise the family up to it's former position of nobility. He got in by claiming to have converted to the Stygian Church.

Description: Curly brown hair and shocking blue eyes adorn the head of this somewhat scrawny youth.

Goals: To learn the deepest, most esoteric arts available in order to empower himself, and bring his family back to the greatness they once had. He's also been considering actual converting to the Stygian Church - he likes his family's religion, but sees it as nigh dead, and so wants to be in this other church for its social connections. His family, however, would strongly disapprove of such a conversion. In school he wants to get access to the Restricted Texts.
