Blizzix

Blizzix Whistlethwaite is a gnome mage previously employed by Duke Rygal as his personal mage in the court in Modan. His main task was to improve the magical defenses of Modan and specifically the Duke's castle, an area the Duke felt needed substantial improvement. Blizzix held this position for five years prior to the rise or Arzosah - apart from the fact he studied in the capital little is known of his history before he took up the position.

When last seen he seemed to be a typical middle aged gnome, standing 3 1/2 feet tall and sporting a full beard and a balding head. He usually wore practical tunics and robes and wore magical red glasses whose powers are unknown.

He is a somewhat eccentric gnome - albeit a genius in multiple fields, mundane and arcane. When in employ in Modan he could be found working on multiple experiments and projects at a time, some at the behest of the Duke but many purely for his own entertainment and enjoyment. Trying to engage him in conversation is liking being buffeted by a hurricane whilst trying to herd cats - an ultimately fruitless endeavor and really you're just along for the ride.

Prior to their disappearance, he helped the Crimson Company solve the attempted assassination of Fyril Eldermantle as how his magical defenses around the keep worked were instrumental in solving the case."'Blizzix? Hes a genius. Quite possibly mad, but a genius' - Duke Rygal."
