Louras' Roleplaying and Fantasy Pages

Teldin Remsal My favourite mage, maybe because despite his lack of any high scores he has become one of the most powerful mages I have had the opportunity to play, in his huge and versatile selection of spells, the allies he can call upon, and his political and economic power, Due to the fact that he holds a seat on the Cabal, he has a remarkable amount of political sway, even moreso because he has a knack for turning the worst situation to a good opportunity. He has even turned the myriad and powerful enemies he has acquired over the short time he has been a member of society in Kingsport to an advantage by at times distracting them from an allies goals and getting them to focus their efforts on him.
Recently he has decided to move on, finding that his enemies here have become too numerous. He knows that they will never stop pursuing him if he is alive so he has decided to die. He has used a scroll of Clone that he had in his possession and left the clone to grow in the care of his friends in a hidden locale, protected from scrying spells. The clone will have access to diaries to fill in the gaps in its memory, and though it will lose some of the most recent memories, it will have those gaps filled in by Teldin's friends knowledge of events. The true Teldin himself will end his life in an attack upon his most powerful foes among the Cabal, drawing them out so the archmage Cinder, Teldin's sometime benefactor, can slay them one by one.
Teldin does not see this as dying, but rather a form of immortality. With the aid of clone spells and contingencies he believes that he can achieve a sort of state of immortality, albeit flawed by some lost memories. Individual Teldins may die, but a new Teldin will always arise to go on. He just has to master a way to keep the loss of Constitution from affecting each successive generation of clones, as well, of course, raising his Intelligence in this lifetime so that he might master the power needed to use Clone himself rather than from scrolls.
As for the new clone.. he shall be heading out into the planes in the company of two friends that recently advetured with Teldin, who both came from the Outer Planes.

Special items:
Teldin is the host of a Blood Ring: this parasite is a foot long worm that resembles a metal armlet unless closely examined. The Blood Ring leeches small amounts of blood from Teldin to survive, 6 hp/day worth. It is a symbiotic rlationship though, Teldin is its voluntary host because it grants him some protection from magic, granting him 15% magic resistance through some chemical means.(it has 30% magic resistance). Due to the blood loss Teldin is aided by Drom's healing magics as well as those of a minor priest mong the staff of his manor. this seems like a high price to pay for a chance to resist magic, but with the number of wizards opposing Teldin he feels it is well worth it.
