The boy's father fell ill and died, leaving Agnes struggling to support herself and her son in her menial job as a washerwoman.Othmar grew up under the constant, watchful eye of his overprotective mother, never allowed to play games with the other children for fear he might get hurt. Othmar grew up with a sense of reverence for his dear mother, and spent most of his time doting on her and trying to please her. It was also during his childhood that he began to develop his odd speech patterns, full of long words and needless repetition.By his early teens, it had become obvious that Othmar was an extremely bright child, a fast learner with a prodigious memory. Agnes, recalling that her great-uncle had been a wizard of some small renown in Sasserine, decided to take the boy to Bluecrater Academy and see if Othmar too had the gift of the mage. Indeed, the arcane instructors at the Academy recognized Othmar's gift right away, and he was admitted as a student of the Academy.Othmar was a bright study of arcane lore despite his personality quirks. He developed a voracious appetite for knowledge of any sort, and spent most of his time studying in seclusion. He made virtually no friends. The only exception to his intensive study was the daily visits with his dearest mother who he revered all the more for having enlisted him in Bluecrater.Sadly, Othmar's life has recently taken a turn for the worse, as Agnes passed away unexpectedly from unknown causes. For Othmar, this has been a terrible loss, and it has caused him to take a leave from his formal training at Bluecrater. While he still studies independently at the Academy library sometimes, he mostly spends his time wandering the streets of Cauldron, looking for a direction in life. He still lives in his mother's ramshackle house, down near the lake's edge.[/sblock]</blockquote>
