The Wizard

Appearance: A deceptively genial elderly man of indeterminate age

Fictional Character Biography:

(Warning: Contains Spoilers)

Thousands of years ago the wizard was the ruler of the human population. Far from benevolent, he revealed himself to be a cruel, sadistic dictator who kept the mortal population in check by crushing their spirits and using his vast powers to torture and control his subjects.

Unbeknownst to him, an appeal was made to the Fairies and Unicorns for help, and he was soon overwhelmed. Aided by the Unicorns, the Fairy Priestess and her order cast a spell which imprisoned the Wizard in an underground cave; once inside, the wizard was placed in a deep slumber, only to be awakened when an innocent set willing foot inside his prison.

To ensure that such a thing could never occur, the Fairy Priestess and the Unicorn Queen banished the human populance back to earth, ending the Wizard's threat once and for all.

Unfortunately, both the Unicorn Queen and the Fairy Priestess were unaware of a mystical portal created by the Wizard to bring some of the populance back. Due to the portal's existence, the metaphysics which governed their spell were unintentionally altered and the arrival into their world of a girl called Jessica Bannerly partially dissolved the curse, waking the Wizard from his slumber.

Upon waking the Wizard set about discovering what had awakened him and, once he had determined the cause, luring the young girl into the cave so as to fully release himself from the effects of the curse. He succeeded in capturing his prey, only to be thwarted by the timely intervention of the Unicorn Sapphire and Ciara, a ninteeth century girl who had previously come through the portal.

Magical Abilities:

Due to his experimentation with the Dark Arts, the Wizard is very powerful, almost omnipotent, but the curse has since suppressed many of his abilities. It is not known exactly how much power he still possesses, though he has demonstrated the following: Remote Viewing (through the eyes of Ben, his human servant, and the demon rats); psychic projection, allowing his spirit to leave his prison while his body remains trapped; and transmogrification, by which he turned Ben into a werewolf.

Despite continuing to age, the wizard still lives after centuries of imprisonment, suggesting that immortality may be one of his retained abilities.

Personality:

Power hungry, arrogant, and dictatorial the Wizard uses his powers to enforce his will upon others, which is perhaps why part of the curse was designed to deprive him of his magical abilities. While he cheerfully manipulates even those who willingly serve him, he does not lie as a matter of course, finding the truth a far more effective weapon than deception. As Jessica is the key to his freedom, he will stop at nothing to destroy her.

The Wizard's present status is unknown.
