Xarthisius the Mage

Xarthisius the Mage is a resident of the Last Chance, and is a master artisan of the arcane, capable of creating scrolls and other magical items if the requisite materials are gathered for him.

"Xarthisius the Mage is, first and foremost, a wizard. He dresses in the archetypal dusty blue robes and iconic deep blue pointed hat with a wide brim, under which he can frequently be found brooding. Once this is all taken in, however, it becomes apparent that Xarthisius is also an orangutan. A rather large, wide-faced one, too, with a noticeable pot belly and hefty jowls. 

''While Xarthisius is rarely seen - due to dwelling in some otherworldly realm accessed by his ornate magical mirror - one can often find his flesh golem servant, Lumpkin, standing guard outside of Xarthisius’ closet. Lumpkin, as a flesh golem, is composed of parts from many individual bodies and persons, all sewn together with heavy surgical thread, and sealed with necromantic magic. Lumpkin doesn’t speak, not truly, but does make a sort of strangled murmuring, and is bright enough to understand basic commands and messages. ''

''Xarthisius, once one gets to know him, is a rather archetypal scholarly wizard: curious, brilliant, absent-minded, irascible, snarky, and tremendously powerful. He tends to grow bored of conversations quickly, and will sometimes leave if one struggles to make the discussion interesting. He is also deeply fond of mangoes, and will go to great lengths to acquire them.''

''In his wizardly domain, Xarthisius is especially talented in scribing and crafting magical scrolls, as well as other temporary or limited-use magical items, such as charged wands or rings. If one can adequately describe what one desires such a scroll or item to do, Xarthisius can almost certainly craft it. Additionally, he, like all powerful wizards, has vast knowledge in the realms of arcana, demonology, herbology, monstrumology, spellcraft, elementalism, and planar magics, which can be potentially tapped."''
