Alistair Skyspire

Lord Alistair Skyspire is an Acadian lord and battle veteran who teaches necromancy and combat at Caelum Academy of the Arcane. He is Seth Ravenshade's mentor.

Physical Description
Alistair has brown hair, tanned skin, and striking blue eyes that Seth finds somewhat intimidating. His long wings are, tawny gold and gray, resembling those of a golden eagle. He is somewhere in his fifties, but does not look particularly old.

Personality
Alistair often has a quiet but imposing presence, silently commanding the respect of his students and fellow faculty. Many students are intimidated by him. He tends to be stoic and apparently emotionless, though he feels deep affection for his wife Sapphire, and for Seth Ravenshade.

Inside, Alistair is tormented by his past and his association with Azalor. He tries to ignore it and focus on training students, showing little emotion most of the time.

Magical Powers
In addition to necromancy, Alistair uses mostly light-based magic in battle. He is adept at conjuring blades and using charged weapons. He is also capable of using telekinetic attacks, shock waves, and electricity. He rarely does magic outside of battle, so even his students are sometimes unaware of what he is truly capable of.

Seth Ravenshade
Alistair takes his job as Seth Ravenshade's mentor almost more seriously than he takes teaching. He's constantly irritated by Seth's attitude and mischevious antics, but he knows that Seth does truly respect him. He sees Seth almost as a son. He is constantly afraid that Seth will go down the wrong path because he sometimes toes moral lines, and Alistair has a much more black-and-white sense of morality than Seth does. His greatest fear is that Seth will "fall" like Alistair's own father did, but he underestimates Seth's innate goodness.

Sapphire Skyspire
Alistair has a loving and stable relationship with Sapphire, who has been his partner in battle for years. They are a formidable force together.
