Build: Thin, somewhat weak

Skills: He can create unreal creatures out of magic, even large dragons, but if he loses his concentration, they fade away. The strain can be high. He varies his dragons more than most Dragon Callers.
Tad Thurston

He is known for his work in the Fire Elven slums, and fosters a lingering grudge against all Stone Elven for something in his past. He has several sisters. (NB: Stone and Fire Elven are classes in Lava Elven society)
Skills: He wields fiery magic, useful in battle and for roasting marshmellows, but he has to avoid being burned himself, as he's not fireproof. He's also fairly strong physically, but not necessarily moreso than B'khee.
