Jovi Sunscryer

The most experienced of the White Wizards of Templehof is Jovi Sunscryer, an eccentric scholar who is never happier than when his bald pate gleams in the glow of natural light. Needless to say, the omnipresent darkness that plagues Sylvania has spurred him to take up arms in defence of his one true love – sunshine.

Sunscryer took his initial posting to Sylvania with typical good humour. For him, the Undead hold a gruesome fascination. The wizard has been known to delay a walking corpse's destruction purely to see in which direction it will lurch. Furthermore, the nearby ruins of Mordheim have allowed Sunscryer to further his experiments with a substance of his own devising, which he has named wyrdglass. The scholar long ago lost all his body hair to his incendiary experiments with this potent crystal, but his research continues apace.

Since a journey to the ruined cities of Nehekhara that he made as a young man, Sunscryer has been fascinated by the mechanics of light, magical or otherwise. He has perfected the art of crafting lenses to an unparalleled degree, and can channel the Wind of Hysh so accurately that it is said he can burn a single mosquito from a swarm.

Sunscryer built the Templehof Luminark from the ground up, though the contraption was so large that in order for his acolytes to get it out of his workshop, it had to be taken apart and rebuilt in the courtyard. Behind his eccentricity lies purpose – during his researches in the Land of the Dead, Sunscryer uncovered a trail of bloodless corpses that suggested the menace from the Vampires was anything but over.
