Background: Eyaggel was an unreknowned petty criminal, preying on travelers and other newcomers to the city of High Forge, until he was caught picking the pocket of the city's top mage. Luckily for him, the ever-curious Bodauno noticed Eyaggel's magical aura. In lieu of the usual punishment, he was magically trained and assigned to perform special missions, usually involving the acquisition of a rare item for a spell, enchantment or elixir.
To ensure Eyaggel's return, his wife is a "guest" of the city's ruler. She is treated well and works as a weaver in the household.
Work Habits: He's a con artist who uses his looks to his best advantage. His only experiences out of the city has been on missions for his patron.
Personal: Eyaggel's parents were dyers, but he couldn't stand the associated smells (or the hard work). He married young and is devoted to his wife.
Another diplomatic "guest" tells Uil about a mage with rare spells in her homeland. The mage is reluctantly offering to teach others — for the right price.
