Characters
Although he claim to be from the city New Sarchel in Impultur, he is actually from Thay. And he is from that Tam family. A descendant of Szass Tam, he was destined to be a necromancer from birth. He had neither the temperment nor the evil nature to be a necromancer and when he started to develop some "unusual abilities" his fate was sealed. Martin is a Spell-Fire Wielder. He managed to steal a few choice items from the store rooms and fled into the night.
Although he is developing into quite a powerful spell caster in his own right, he has no illusions about what would happen if the Red Wizards found him. He has continued to run. He has worked on a ship as a deck hand and helped defend more than one small town from _____ (fill in the blank - orgres, gnolls, bandits, rampaging halflings...)
While there are thousands of young wizard out there, no small number of them powerful, the use of Spell Fire is extremely rare. On those few occasions when Martin if forced to use it, it is invariably followed by his rapid departure from the area. He has not only the brilliance that every young wizard aspire to, he also has a forethought that is rarely seen in one so young.
