His skin is mottled with patterns of varying greens that blend in well with marsh environments. Personality: Rodian is a bookish scholar, interested in all manner of things. His mind is constantly alert evaluating things, unconsciously picking up on signals and warnings his conscious mind cannot always immediately understand. This psionically enhanced sense has served him well and even uncovered plots and saved his life, but it also shaped how he now views the world. He is no longer the grippli he once was.Background: Rodian appeared at the Omnielemental's courts seeking a prophecy. He traded years of service as a tutor to the Prince's offspring in return for an audience with the dread water wierd. What she told Rodian he has never revealed to others and he avoids conversation on the subject entirely.In his time at the court he has tutored a number of royal siblings, particularly those with a bent towards mind magery such as the sedate crysmal and wild psionic elementals. In return he has taken the opportunity to learn some of the innate elemental techniques his students bring to the classroom.It was during a field trip with several students to the Burning Fields of Inspiration that Rodian discovered the efreeti plot to gain access to the wierds. The heat baking from the sands of the Fields were a source of inspiration for greatness. Intuitive leaps, mental breakthroughs, and flashes of genius resulted from their primal connection to the fire wierd. The genies had disguised themselves as ash mephits intent on gaining fire knowledge, supposedly on pilgrimage to the Fields. Rodian's field trip encountered them in the Fields and the resulting interaction set the grippli's eye membranes quivering. Some of the "ash mephits'" actions were off and subtly incongruous. Given the proximity of Burning Fields to the essence of the fire wierd Rodian reported his suspicions to agents of the Prince. The Prince saw the implications of a threat to the wierd and sent in several psionic elementals to interrogate the supposed mephits. A great confrontation occurred when the mephits refused to cooperate and the subterfuge was reveled. Efreeti wish magic vied against elemental mind powers. The psionic elementals would have been thrashed if the Prince had not also ordered some time elementals unleashed as backup. The incursion was thwarted but the Prince chose to keep the matter quiet. The psionic and time elementals grew resentful wanting more than just the Prince's statement that he was pleased with their work. They felt snubbed, taken for granted, and robbed of their rightful glory and recognition among their peers. In their brief time of unfettered freedom the time elementals took actions that would not come to fruition until much later, then returned to their ordained places in the kingdom.When the Prince later rewarded Rodian among others for services rendered, it was too much. The wild psionic elementals would not let things stand, and the time elementals' previous actions manipulated events so the crisis occurred just at the right time to accomplish a coup, freeing them from their place of servitude.</blockquote>
