Erodar the Prime

Erodar the Prime is a flashy stage magician in Ilyrion who bills himself as the creator of the "greatest series of illusions ever attempted on stage". He is a "short man in a leather jacket" with a "slick smile" and an arrogant air that often rubs others the wrong way. While he claims to be a Prime Mage, he is actually a master mistweaver who utilizes "architecture" in his head to design and manifest complex illusions without needing physical carving. His signature theatrical look involves a three-piece suit, top hat, and cane, which he uses to dazzle audiences with feats like faking an entire crowd's death or teleporting across the stage.
