Biography (At least a well written Paragraph please): The Karillian family were nobles of Miravere, a powerful family long known for the influence they held over the king. In fact some much of the blame for the kingdom of Miravere's decline at the feet of Renvell Karillian, chief advisor to the last King of Miravere and Linus' father. When the council of enlightenment enacted their coup they did their best to round up any influential nobles who might oppose them but Renvell escaped, fleeing across the border in the dead of night and leaving behind his wife and only son to be captured by the mages. Fortunately the mages, wishing to limit any bloodshed, allowed the young family to live and one of the Arch sages even took an interest in Linus.
Linus had always been a great deal more studious than the average noble son, excelling at his studies but awkward and withdrawn at social events, almost the complete opposite of his charismatic father. But in magic Linus found his true calling and dove headfirst into his study, progressing rapidly even as his poor social skills withered even further. Besides teaching him both the theory and practice of magic, Linus' master made educated him in history, economics and even ensured he got out and saw the country of his birth and its common people. Linus was shocked by the poor state of Miravere, though he had always suspected the King and his advisors to be fools he could never have imagined the real, personal consequences of poverty and misrule the citizens suffered. Linus felt somewhat responsible for the suffering he saw, having lived a life of luxury fueled by it and vowed to do his part to ensure this new government of mages did better.
Linus soon graduated from a mere apprentice to a full dark mage and quickly made a name for himself both as a researcher and as an administrator. Most of the mages of the council were the scholarly type, with little aptitude or interest in running a nation but Linus seemed to have a natural talent for it and applied himself wholeheartedly to the task, ensuring things went smoothly and the populace were not unduly burdened. Linus gradually found himself entrusted with more and more responsibility, although he was forced to take a step back when, as was custom in the council of enlightenment, he took on a student of his own. Around the the same time the political situation outside Miravere began to change, with Zendle's rapid expansion alarming the Arch sages. Though they had so far maintained a strict policy of neutrality, some of the arch sages felt that Zendle's aggression would one day force their hand while others wanted to stick to the policy that had so far served them well. Finally it was decide to send someone to investigate the situation and report back, a few candidates were discussed but in the end nobody who could be spared was trusted more than Linus.

Notes: Linus has a student, who I'd like to make a separate app for.
