He may look something like this...Seguith Naram, Human Aristocrat 1/Wizard 4Biography: Seguith is the first son of a wealthy High Circle landowner and leader in House Taurus. His father, Coleras, owns many buisnesses in the lower Circles, as well as holdings in other cities, such as Aquavis and Gadar. Widely respected by his house, the merchant was once considered a likely canidate for a seat on the Council of Houses. In his childhood, it was assumed by most that Seguith would grow to become the heir to both his father's fortune and position in Taurus. To that end, he was sent to the Academy at an age earlier than most students, with the intention of giving him instruction as a leader, with a smattering of military training, as is expected for a leader in House Taurus. Seguith, however, had different plans. While his childhood was filled with indoctrination in the glory and strength of Taurus, the Academy shattered his ideas of the power of his House. By chance, he met an Academy teacher of magical arts, who was impressed with they boy's potential. While Seguith began his political instruction, he spoke many times with the wizard, and began to see the weaknesses of his martially-inclined House. He began pondering the strengths of a magocracy: a government in which weak leaders, as he saw the current Prime Resident Ular to be, would be replaced by intelligent, decisive leaders with ranks of followers capable of giving carefully considered and magically aided council. Without his House or parent's knowledge, he shifted the focus of his studies towards magic. Under the teaching of the finest wizards in Farseer, Seguith learned both magical theory and the structure of House Monoceros. While he acknowledged that Monoceros had problems as any other house did, he saw that if united, their strength and knowledge could best any rival power. As he approached his graduation from the Academy, he left his father's House and joined Monoceros as a low-ranking mage. Coleras pleaded, threatened, and ordered him to rejoin Taurus, but the mage could not be swayed. Soon after his defection, he was selected to represent Monoceros in the Committee of Extraordinary Affairs, and eagerly accepted the opportunity to gain power and respect in his new House.Appearance: Seguith, while nowhere near as respected as he once was in Taurus, still retains some of the benefits of his former house-namely, some of his father's riches. He dresses in fine clothing and keeps up a tidy appearance. While he lacks the powerful magic devices many higher-ranking mages possess, he still wears non-magical jewelry and baubles. He keeps his black hair short and his beard neatly trimmed. He has green eyes, fair skin, and a tall frame.----------------------I can live with 3.0.
