The Lore of Battle Mage Danny of the Light
Battle Mage Danny is what's known colloquially as a giga chad of the wizarding world. He is twin brother to Battle Mage Goliath of the Desert...rumor has it there were actually supposed to be triplets, except Danny absorbed one of his brothers during gestation to become even more powerful. His brilliance was evident even at a young age, he was already casting spells when other kids were learning how to walk and talk, with a particular fondness for fireballs and explosions. While his less accomplished twin was mostly ignored by the family, Danny was the pride and joy of his clan, an old and powerful family of martial wizards who passed down the secrets of combat magic from one generation to the next. Everyone in the village believed Danny was destined to become the most powerful battle mage to ever walk the Forgotten Runes, and he relished in the attention.
Most origin stories have some kind of tragic setback or coming-of-age dilemma, but not Danny's. If there's one phrase to describe his life, it is "up only." He received a full ride scholarship to the Pigmoles School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he ranked top of his class every single year and was also class president every single year. Most children with such a pedigree would be hated by their classmates and get beat up at lunch every day, but not Danny: he was perennially the most popular kid with a never-ending entourage of admirers. After graduation, he aced his battle mage entry exam with ease, and immediately landed a cushy magi-tech consulting job in Red Wizard Capital making a six figure salary in gold pieces every year. He shortly became even more wealthy (possibly ludicrously wealthy) from a series of prescient investments in the maritime trade. A few years later, much to the consternation of single women in the Forgotten Runes, Danny got married too, to a beautiful witch from a powerful aristocratic family.
Life is good for Danny, and he is basically the envy of everyone who knows him. He is a paragon of the wizarding world with the perfect life, a man who has it all. Is it possible that there are cracks in the facade? Some say he is involved with shady characters in the wizard underworld who help finance his deals. Other rumors abound that there's no love in his marriage, and it was purely a political alliance at best and a eugenic experiment to create a new generation of extremely powerful magic users at worst. Some even whisper that his dashing good looks are the result of a perpetually sustained transfiguration spell. If Battle Mage Danny is hiding a deep dark secret, it has yet to be uncovered...for now, his reputation is more pristine than a nun’s underwear drawer after laundry day, and he's the kind of guy you would love to have on your team, but hate to have as an enemy.
