[@Shadow Daedalus]: ... Have to be honest, you'd have to scrap most of the backstory for it to become acceptable right now.

I'm sorry, but those aspects of the backstory, especially dealing with the rogue mage, don't make much sense to me at all. The more I've learned about it the more it just doesn't mesh with the setting as far as I can see.

Sorry again, but you'll have to rework him completely at this rate.
