Name: Hammond Magister
Alias:
Rank: Shield of Illynallah / Prince of Torana
Apparent Age: mid 40s
Age: mid 40s?
Race: Human
Appearance:
Those who have been in the Toranan castle recognize him from one of the portraits in the antechamber of the throne room. His features are familiar to everyone. He appears to be in his mid-twenties; however he has silver hair. He has hazel eyes. He wields a mace in battle with the skill of trained warrior. He is strong with a solid build.
Personality:
Quiet and somber most of the time, Hammond is protective of everyone in the Company, but more-so of the children. He willingly imparts his knowledge to any who listen. His honor is absolute. He follows without question the edicts of Illynallah, and any who know of her realize how difficult this path is to walk. He will never attack an unarmed or helpless foe, or attack from the back. He dislikes ambushes. Those who are dishonorable are the first he slays in battle. Though he is a fierce warrior, he shows mercy for he will allow his enemies a chance to surrender (if the opportunity presents itsAlfir). Although he has not had a chance to demonstrate this since joining the Company, Hammond is apt in the ways of the court and possesses the high social skills necessary to survive therein.
Known History:
Hammond was born in Toranan and raised as the second son of the king. He was the 'spare' in the 'heir and a spare'; however that did not prevent the royal teachers from ensuring he knew everything there was to know about being the King. Just in case.
Rescued from the maze-like ruins of a temple, he told a brief story that revealed him to be the younger brother of the Toranan king. The time-line that he gave placed him from the past approximately sixty years; however when he was first rescued he had no recollection of a large part of that. He remembered he was a Guardian of Illynallah and though he has attempted to dispel undead (Barton the ghost baby) nothing happened. He healed various members of the party, giving credence to his claim of being a Guardian. Gradually his memories returned.
When he regained his memories, he told the tale of first allying with Kizer, before Kizer went mad. Hammond journeyed to Vorbis with Kyzar and was present while the other was speaking to the Council. When he learned of Kyzar's plot to destroy Trias, Hammond broke off from him, but after reconsidering, went after him. He kept a map of his journey and a journal, some entries of which the Company discovered prior to finding and rescuing him.
In the Overseer's realm, he was 'taken captive' by 'Mordochai'; however managed to realize it was not as real as it seemed and somehow pulled the others into the dream Litam and he were experiencing. Unfortunately, they did not find Litam when they were in 'Mordochai's castle'. Hammond disappeared for a time and presumably reappeared in the Coliseum as a drunkard; however that has not been proven.
Family: Younger brother to the King. Uncle of Princess Ophelia and her brother.
Other Information:
He used one of Illynallah's granted abilities 'Martyr' to restore Valian's arm to him. Hammond's arm was consequently restored to him when Angelica visited the Company. Although it was in a dream (Overseer's realm), the effect continued after the Company awoke and were transported into a different land. Hammond retains a jagged scar around his arm as a badge of honor for the sacrifice.
