“I am power. I am authority. Submit to me and feel perfection.” [b]Name[/b]: Carillius Varmilian. [b]Title[/b]: Magister Varmilian. [b]Species[/b]: Human. [b]Gender[/b]: Male. [b]Age[/b]: Late forties. [b]Appearance[/b]: https://goo.gl/images/UE9X2B [b]Weaponry[/b]: [spoiler][b]Blade of Mercy:[/b] The main weapon in Carillius' arsenal is his Blade of Mercy, a replica of the weapon used by General Hessarian to strike down the prophet Andraste. The weapon is tall at six feet, the same height as the wielder, and it requires a greatly bolstered strength to use. Hence why it's in use by a mage. [b]Blade of Tidarion[/b]: The Blade of Tidarion is a bladeless hilt, much like that of a Knight Enchanter, but made for a two handed wielder. When swung, a rather large five foot long blade extends from the hilt and reaches its peak mid-swing, then slowly dies down. The weapon is usually used if the Blade of Mercy is unable to function, or in the case of Carillius needing a second blade. [/spoiler] [b]Armour[/b]: [spoiler]Most of the time, when he's fighting, Carillius will use his magic to conjure up some form of armour - Usually through Blood Magic and some form of Elemancy.[/spoiler] [b]Spells[/b]: [spoiler][i]Specialization: Magistrate - Blood Mage[/i] [i]Legend tells of ancient Magisters learning Blood Magic from The Forbidden Ones, a group of four demons who still yet live.

[/spoiler] [b]Backstory[/b]: [spoiler][From a note written to Brother Genitivi, Scholar] ...And regarding the Magisters of Tevinter, the Varmilian Family has allowed us unfettered access to their family crypts. When the Chantry scholars moved in to investigate them, they found layers upon layers of families, going all the way back to pre-first Blight tombstones. There appears to be some sort of connection to the original Seven Magisters… ...Day ten of the expedition and we've found it runs farther underground than even a Thaig. It seems the Varmilian family once had connections to Dwarves, with them mining Lyrium underneath their ancestral home. Perhaps the dwarves used the Varmilian’s as a way to directly sell Lyrium? Oh, and there's some red version of it down here… ...Day sixteen, our workers are starting to go stir-crazy here. The Templars guarding us have started to report that they were hearing voices… The singing from the tunnels is getting louder by the day… ... We've been down here three weeks now and half of our workers have died off. The Templars who have turned on us are venturing deeper in, and I want to follow. There are Dwarves down here that still live, and they attack us. The Varmilian name carries weight here, since the Templars are constantly talking about them when referring to the red Lyrium… ...Varmilian. Damn that name and everything surrounding it - We've encountered traitorous Templars and mad Dwarves, and now we have to put up with demon attacks? This Thaig is mad! It'll be the death of us… ...Brother, I am sorry. I have failed you and the Chantry. I have met a Pride Demon and he struck my Templars down, every last one of them. I've met a Desire Demon named Drytha, and she has tended to my wounds. I think… I think I'll stay here with her… ...Curse the Varmilians, the lot of them. Drytha… she told me this Thaig belonged to a king that dealt directly with them. The Lyrium, it fueled them. And these demons? They were experiments, sent to the Thaig by one named Carillius for his own personal gain. Says he wanted to excavate it and claim all the Lyrium for himself… Drytha said she'll take me to the city where the rest of her kind is, and I'll be safe… [The notes stop here. The fate of Brother Merkellius is unknown, but it is presumed he has died.] [/spoiler]
