He is almost entirely socially inept, and is very, very intelligent. This has also led to high levels of insanity, ranging from being a psychopath, paranoia, megalomania, and delusions of grandeur. He has a habit of regarding the best solution to anything as the solution which involves the most burning destruction, and tends to create problems just so he can solve them. Who knows why he even tolerates the rest of humanity. Maybe he's looking for ultimate power, or just wants more pie.

It does not impede your vision, cannot be physically removed, completely hides your features, and protects you against certain attacks.You receive a +4 bonus on saving throws against light or darkness spells and any spells that rely on bright light for damaging effects, such as the flare spel or the fireworks effect of pyrotechnics.You also gain a 50% chance each round to avoid having to make a saving throw against gaze attacks, just as if you averted your eyes.If you avert your eyes while using shadow mask, you get to check twice to see if you avoid having to make the saving throwWhen the duration ends, the shadow mask fades over the course of 1d4 rounds (rather than immediately), giving you time to keep your face hidden via other means. A sucessful dispel magic cast against a shadow mask effectively ends the spell and causes the same slow fading.-----Explosive Cascadefrom Magic of FaerunEvocation [Fire]Level: Sor/Wiz 4Components: V,S,MCasting Time: 1 actionRange: Close (25 ft.+5 ft./2 levels)Area: One 5 ft. square/level, all of which must be connected in one continuous pathEffect: 1 ft-radius sphereDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Reflex halfSR: YesYou cause a bright ball of flame to bound and skip accross the battlefield, damaging targets within its area. The area is the path of the flame, and it deals 1d6 hit points of fire damge per caster level (maximum 10d6) to all creatures and objects iwthin is area.The flame lights up the area as if it were a torch. Small sparks and decaying flames remain in the area for 1 round, shredding light as candles but dealing no damageIf the damage from the flame destroys an interposing barrier, the flame can move beyond the barrier if it has not reached the maximum area.Material component: Bat guano, sulfur, and copper packed into a metal tube with one closed end</blockquote>
