Krishna Manohar

Manohar was exceptionally fickle, eccentric, and widely considered to be 'barking mad.' He was a social misfit who despised the pretenses of noble society, often deliberately acting in ways to avoid formal social obligations. Possessing a genius-level intellect, he valued knowledge above all else and was frequently distracted by scientific discovery, even in the middle of combat. He was notoriously unscrupulous in his experiments, often using others as test subjects without hesitation. While he feared only a select few—specifically Queen Sylpha, his mother Sitri, and Jirni Ernas—he remained deeply cynical about those he deemed intellectually inferior.

Manohar was in his early 30s with a slender, somewhat flimsy build. He had black hair accented with shades of silver. He typically wore white robes adorned with gold embroidery, which functioned as storage for high-tier spells. For formal events, he donned a white Royal Archmage uniform featuring golden epaulets and tailored trousers, though he often appeared disheveled or eccentric due to his frantic research habits.

A child prodigy, Manohar became an Archmage by age 16, the youngest in the Kingdom's history, after acing his studies at White Griffon Academy with minimal effort. He formed a significant, albeit antagonistic, friendship with Zogar Vastor during their school years while exploring forbidden magical mysteries. As an adult, he balanced his duties as a professor and Royal Healer with unauthorized research, leading to his frequent disappearances and run-ins with the law. He played a pivotal role in various conflicts, including the investigation of the 'made-mages' and the Undead War, often operating alongside figures like Jirni Ernas and Illyum Balkor. His career was marked by a constant struggle between his drive for scientific discovery and the constraints placed upon him by the Crown.
