Physical Description:
OKay so first things first. Headmaster Gwynfor Herald and Wyn the clown are the same person. He doesn’t actually want to be a clown, but its a job necessity. He’s thin, and really tall and is always wearing his glasses even in the clown for, they’re just invisible.
Wyn the Clown-
Brightly colored blue wig and red hat. White face makeup but his skin is super pale so it blends pretty nicely into his neck. He doesn’t carry around any traditional clown items but stands slightly hunched over in the background, always, silently. He won’t talk in clown makeup.
Headmaster Gwynfor Herald-
Only wear monochrome clothing. He actually hates color. Long black hair pulled back in one of those nice traditional elf hairstyles. Professional clothing that he hates getting dirty. Still has a spellbook and component pouch but stands incredible straight and tall. Looks down his nose at everyone.
Personality:
Ah yes the bastard elf with a stick up their ass. Gwynfor is incredible intelligent, cunning and sharp with his words. He is old. He has been through. A. Lot. He is not afraid to stab first and not apologize later. You’d think you’d be able to make fun of him for being a clown but he has put so much fear and Respect into the party they can’t do it. He hates explaining himself twice or wasting words on people who are being difficult for the sake of it.
Gwynfor may be cruel and harsh but he is at his core an incredibly good person. He fights back ruthlessly and judges harshly. He is willing to sacrifice his pride to hide away as a clown to still do the most good even when him being recognized would certainly end his life.
Wyn the clown is silent. He doesn’t speak, but he Listens. He doesn’t preform in the Rockfort circus but takes tickets and makes lunch every day so these misfits at least get one good meal.
Inventory:
Cigarettes and a lighter, a black spell book with a moon embossing. First aid kit from his cleric days. fuckin. clown makeup.
Backstory: A lot of it hasn’t been revealed in game yet! but here is a decent summary
Gwynfor Herald built the first permanent magic school structure in Vaselle nearly 350 years ago. How he managed to keep it a stronghold for over 3 centuries had a lot to do with a close friendship with the Vaselle Royal Inquisitor Glendale Rockfort. Headmaster Herald was considered to be one of, if not the best living mage in the country. His specialty was an Evocation and Abjuration wizard, but he taught many sorcerers and witches and wizards in his time there.
However the school fell and was reduced to ash. Gwynfor was taken captive by the Vicar of the Vale as a personal magic generator. Gwynfor spent years battered and tortured until 4 years ago when he was pulled out by Kairos. His magic arcane magic was locked out of him so he whole heartedly pledged his service to Lord Kairos and became a dedicated cleric. They spent nearly a year together before Gwynfor took up the position of watching over his friend Glendale Rockfort’s grandchild. Who, had quite a knack for picking up stray magic users for their circus. He split from Kairos in order to carefully recruit anyone for Kairos’s small resistance organization against the vale. But that also meant blending in and his face not getting noticed by the international Vale police. Here is the Clown disguise.
Wyn the clown silently kept their distance. Keeping a watchful eye on Gildey Rockfort and picking and choosing people to offer to join him. He spent years doing this only finding a handful of people worth the time, the Cascade party was (mostly) worth it to him.
With Bishop’s death Kairos and Gwynfor both lost their divine magic. Feeling useless and furious Gwynfor demanded Bishop unblock the seal on his arcane wizard magic. The cost was his life. Luckily they a way to bring him back, but half his soul was left behind. Having his wizard magic back means the world to him, but its strangely empty. He’s even more dedicated to bringing down the vale and keeping his people safe.
