Character: Mad Jakkle
He doesn't like being called 'mad'... that's just an unfortunate abbreviation of his real name that seems to have stuck.
As a sorcerer, Mad Jakkle can intuitively channel magic without the need for spell casting and the reagents, arcane mumbling and all the other such accoutrements that normal wizardry requires. Wizards, as such, don't really like sorcerers - they envy their raw power and since they do not need to learn spells to channel magic, there is no way they can be regulated or controlled and so are viewed as a dangerous threat.
For his part, the Midnight Sorcerer has remained a staunch enemy of the Empire's wizards for he's seen the corruption within the Council of Mages and doesn't really think magic is something mere humans should be messing with.
