Education: Angolion received a fine education on account of his family’s unmodest wealth and heritage, having been tutored in fields such as magic, literature, history, art and recreational swordplay.
Favourite Food and Drink: He finds delight in all tea.
Backstory: Born on the 3rd of Rain's Hand, 3E 329, to a family of well off lesser nobles and merchants, Angolion grew up lavishly. His education began at a young age, and he was tutored thoroughly in areas of magic, literature and more. Angolion’s enthusiasm and intellect in these fields made him into a subject of praise among peers and teachers, and helped him form long lasting friendships with various colleagues.
Despite his academic talents, Angolion was pulled away from his education at the age of 27 and thrown into politics, his knowledge deemed sufficient for the time. Though a natural speaker, he was vapid in his participation. Over the few decades that he spent in court, his charms were honed but at the expense of his faith in others; Angolion grew to detest politics and witnessed the immense lows to which politicians and, by extension, the common could descend.
This led him to eventually abandon the practice. Instead, he pursued deeper his passions; magic, fine reading and all those other things he had come to love. He found leisure and learning in these activities, but could seldom find someone with the enthusiasm or time with whom to share his knowledge. For companionship in his endeavours, he turned to his beloved sister, who was of the same mind.
Together, they explored every aspect of the arcane, coming into contact with even some of the more illicit magics known to man and mer. Though their experiments were indiscriminate in avenue, both agreed to err on the side of caution. But even that was not enough. Angolion’s parents, whether by fate or unfortunate circumstance, intruded upon a particularly more dangerous venture being undertaken, resulting in the loss of their lives.
After the funeral service, he left his family’s fortune to his sister and went on to teach at the College of Winterhold in the year 4E 237 in Skyrim, about which he had heard whispers. A period of decades passed, during which Angolion acted as a Conjuration instructor. Content with the College’s stance on magic and education, he saw the rise of the new Mages Guild as a perfect opportunity to share their views on a less restrictive study of the arcane. In the year 4E 278, Angolion travelled to the growing town of Sky’s Haven as a representative of the College, seeking entry into the Mages Guild.
Personality: Angolion is charming, well-spoken and considerate Altmer. Always willing to share his knowledge and engage in banter, he holds education among the purest and most enlightening of personal pursuits. His centuries have taught him patience, and as a result, he is seldom seen or heard losing his temper. To do so would be improper etiquette, and certainly would give fall to common manners.
Flaws: Minor arachnophobe, occasional sarcastic, scornful of the uneducated
Spoken Languages: Altmeris (fluent), Tamrielic (fluent)
Hobbies and Interests: Creative arts, recreational fencing, study into magic, wide reading
Relationships: Has maintained healthy relationships with his friends back in Alinor as well as his sister, for whom he cares deeply.
