Though it may not look like it the outfit is quite comfortable and easy to travel in. Morthos believes it makes him look more professional, thus having others respect him more on first impressions. Not shown in the picture is a 5 foot long pointed tail

Equipment: A large bag with several books inside it, room for many more, along with food and water rations for several days, chalk, and a few select herbs for certain rituals

Personality: Morthos is generally very relaxed, only becoming truly passionate over knowledge. He is always very kind and considerate, always trying to disprove prejudice about Tieflings

Goals: Show others that not all Tieflings are bad, simply because of how they look
Learn as much as he can from as many sources as possible
Try to make some real friends

Beliefs: "Knowledge is Power"
"As much as you may want to, you can't always go it alone"
"Magic is nothing more than a tool, neither good nor evil"

Background: Morthos was an orphan child, his mother had him after a one night stand with a Tiefling who had charmed her in order to get his way. After seeing what he was she left him, not only because he was not human but because she could not raise him on her own. The other kids were always afraid of him, and he was never adopted, so he had a lot of alone time. In that time he did a lot of reading, eventually turning that in to a love of magic. He spent as much time as he could at the nearby library, reading up on magical techniques. It caught the interest of a local wizard and he ended up adopting him and making Morthos his apprentice. He learned magic from his new master, and eventually decided to take up adventuring, wanting to prove himself to his master and to everyone else. 

The Tiefling race are a race of people who were once humans, but after the nobles of an ancient, long gone empire made deals with devils for powers they were cursed. Tieflings generally have red skin, darker hair, horns, and long tails, very clearly indicating their infernal heritage.

Racial Traits: Tieflings are fairly similar to humans. The main differences are that tieflings have red skin, long tails, and are heat resistant making fire less effective (though still useful given enough time/quantity)

Known Skills: When it comes to anything that isn't magic Morthos doesn't have many applicable skills, since he uses magic for many of his every day needs. He is however surprisingly stealthy, and also stronger than one would think from carrying around heavy books all the time.

Known Spells/Powers: Morthos is quite skilled in fire magic, he can also cast many simple spells such as an orb of light and other such things.
