Zagyg and his wife Niniel, both wizards, were together for 18 years. Sadly, she fell in the great battle against Viysahnith the demon. His life was forever changed. He did his best to hold off the deep grief by immersing himself in his magic. Their life in Waterdeep had been good, they even had two children, both grown and on their own now. When the slip of an Elven girl came with the summoning. Then the battle with the demon and her army changed everything for him forever!

They had done well in Cormyr and against the dragon, powerful and wealthy with a deep well of knowledge, The Red Wizards and other battles they fought together brought them closer together over the years, then their fight to save Waterdeep. They went into semi-retirement there and planned to live out time there as they worked on immortality together. But since she fell, his life as a widower has been fairly sad. He has considered finishing their studies on immortality, but, without her, why?
