Iberia Campaign

Aesculus, magus Ex Miscellanea, is a specialist of the Arts of Perdo and Corpus.  He was apprenticed in Provence, but his pater was a harsh master and Aesculus learned his Arts the hard way; he ran away as soon as he was strong enough in magic.  The entire Covenant was the object of a Wizard's March not long after Aesculus left, on suspicion of diabolism.  Aesculus steadfastly denies knowing anything about such practices.

The young sodali ran south, over the Pyrenees to Andalucia.  He spent some time trying to find a Covenant which would accept him,  At the Tribunal of 1200, the Flambeau of Jaferiya made him an order that should not be refused, making it clear they were interested in using his abilities.  Instead, Aesculus chose to join the covenant newly formed at the Tribunal, making deadly enemies in Jaferiya.

However, Aesculus's temper got the bst of him when he was sent to Qurtuba (Cordoba) to purchase glassware for the laboratories.  When the grog Juan allowed Jaferiya henchmen to steal Aesculus' luggage, Aesculus was so angry that he used magic against Juan in front of mundanes.  When Juan fled, Aesculus pursued him, announcing his intention of killing Juan.  Berq the mameluke tried to defuse the situation, but Aesculus disappeared. 

Since then, it has been discovered that Aesculus had stolen from the Vis entrusted to him to negotiate on behalf of the covenant in Qurtuba, and had used the spell Veil of Invisibility to steal one of the amulets granting access to the regio in which the covenant buildings are nested.

Aesculus has long black hair, a pale complexion, and light grey-blue eyes.  He wears dark tattered robes.  He tends to keep his own counsel, and is slow to give his trust.
