Wizard seeking Wizard

For a transmuter, I'd go with something unexpected, like a monster that transmutes.

For instance, a master transmuter medusa, who teaches from behind a screen or while wearing a strange mirrored mask, would be a lot of fun, especially if the wizard, at first, didn't know exactly what he was learning from.

Someone suggested a Silver Dragon. Perhaps this might warrant further development.

Alright, assuming I do use the ex-Red Wizard idea, how do I subtly drop hints about his existence. The party has just entered an extensive underground ruins, and will likely not return to civilization until level 3. I was considering just leaving a tome written by this guy as treasure, but it seems kind of clichéd. What are some other ideas I could try?

Have some other people looking for him?
