Until recently, Kanred was an arrogant Combat Mage living with his brother Burk in their backwater village. However, he resented this simple life. He dreamed of having his name known far and wide, but with the upheavals caused by the second cataclysm, his goals were more distant than ever.
When a traveling grandmaster mage offered to teach him the secrets of higher magic, Kanred jumped at the chance. In his haste to gain power at any cost, he abandoned all sense of caution. The massive influx of purified magic blasted his brain and turned him into a maddened pillar of living power.
Ironically, Kanred’s wish had been granted, though not in the manner in which he had dreamed. Now, eternally doomed to wander the world mindlessly absorbing magic, Kanred’s newfound power and fame came at a steep price.
