Friedrich von Tarnus

Friedrich von Tarnus was the first Magister Patriarch of the Bright College. Excelling beyond all of Teclis' many proteges save Volans, Freidrich was there when the Colleges of Magic were formed. Before ascending to his position, the hot-headed wizard served as commander of the Carroburg Greatswords, but was cast out in shame when his magical talent came to light.

Since then, it was he who crafted the Staff of Patriarchs for Volans, which would become the symbol of office for all Supreme Patriarchs thereafter.
