Morrow

Morrow is a Guild Mage of the Scepter's Chorus and head of Kalabel Chantry in Port Talon.

He is an NPC played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Appearance
Morrow is a middle-aged human man, with a round head and ruddy complexion. He has thin blond hair swept in a comb-over and piercing blue eyes. His hands appear very soft and his seems to always be a bit sweaty.

Morrow wears a long white robe with a high collar, long sleeves, and silver geometric designs on the hems and collar. He wears several rings, one of which bears an emerald and allows him access to Imperial magic reserves. A special scroll that contains multiple spellbooks within it hangs at his side.

Personality
Morrow is a big fan of Soft and Stone, so much so that he has begun a small collection of their works. As a student in the Citadel, Morrow failed his final round of exams. He deeply believes the Citadel was wrong to expel him and he has what it takes to be a truly great wizard.

Morrow is deeply ambitious. He is the mastermind behind the arcane work on the Kalabel Nautimatic Apparatus, a project he believes is truly impressive and will put him back on the map with the Citadel, especially if someone of Suvi's station sees and approves of it. When explaining his research to the party, Eursulon realizes he (Eursulon) is "not the hungriest person at this table," and Ame understands that Morrow has an attitude of hero-worship and adulation towards the Citadel and its leadership that, in this moment, he struggles to keep under control.

Biography
Sometime before the events of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One, Morrow failed his final exam and had to leave the Citadel. He then joined the Scepter's Chorus and, at some point, moved to Kalabel Chantry in Port Talon to oversee the planning, construction, and operation of the wizard derrick.

At some point during Soft and Stone's work at the Citadel, or perhaps after their deaths, Morrow became a huge fan. He has begun a small collection of their work that he keeps in the Chantry's research library.

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One
Upon arriving at the Kalabel Chantry, secretary mages bring the party to the Chantry's rock garden to wait for an audience with the guild mages. A few minutes later, Morrow arrives with other members of the Scepter's Chorus and is overjoyed at the opportunity to entertain Apprentice Archmage Suvi. Morrow is so excited he cues an explosive welcome display of magical fireworks and origami birds.

After some introductions, Morrow leads the party to Kalabel's dining chamber to have a meal and discuss their visit. The party stumbles through a string of lies about their identities and reason for visiting Port Talon, during which Eursulon almost fails to lift a small chest of drawers. Morrow shares his research at the Kalabel Apparatus and reveals parts of why he is so ambitious and hungry to impress the Citadel. Morrow offers to take the party on a tour of the Apparatus that evening as the view is more impressive at night. After a brief interruption by Pain, the party is shown to their guest apartments. Suvi slightly more deftly sidesteps questions about the party's true intentions and asks about Morrow's collection of her parent's works. Morrow, excited to share, takes Suvi to the research library. After another tense interaction with Pain, Morrow rushes out to reprimand him for being rude to Suvi. Suvi takes the collection of her parents' works and heads back to the guest apartments.
