Adran Galanodel, a High Elf Mage. Adran grew up in Waterdeep to a well to-do fine jewelry and art merchant. His father was something of a local celebrity / noble, not only did he have the rarest of the rare pieces in his shop, but his network of suppliers / adventurers had a record for never loosing a man. Adran was working in the shop one day when the dean of students from the local Wizard University walked in looking for a crystal orb. While speaking with the dean, Adran knew where he belonged - at the University. Once he spoke to his father, he agreed with his son's decision. His father paid his tuition and told his son that once completed, he could prove that he was worthy of such expense and join his network of adventurers to use his newly acquired skills. It's been 50 years since he graduated (at the top of his class) and Adran has worked for his father off and on over the years. He has had many great experiences but has found that he always wants more. He especially has a goal to find and scour every magical tome that he can, and make a little money on the side. He is 155 years old, 5'5", 110 lbs, slender build, blue eyes, white hair, pale skin, dresses in long dark purple robes and carries a pack with his supplies.
