Garkesku

Garkesku is Minalan's professional rival, a spellmonger established in the town of Hymas who affects a haughty demeanor and wears gaudy robes and ridiculous hats to impress the locals. While he is a competent mage who contributes to the defense with disease and pestilence spells, he is consumed by professional jealousy and attempts to turn Sire Koucey against Minalan. His machinations and failure to control his apprentice Urik lead Minalan to strip him of his witchstone and exile him from the order of stone-wielders.

Participates as a Knight Magi in the major engagements of the Goblin War campaign. Having trained Rondal and Tyndal as apprentices before passing them to Minalan, Garkesku has a personal stake in the younger mages' success. His experience as a spellmonger and mage continues to be an asset in the campaign.

Active mage and member of the Sevendor magical community as Minalan's domain takes shape. His relationship with his former apprentices Rondal and Tyndal — now Knights Magi — reflects the generational shift in the magical community that Minalan's rise has produced.
