The Lore of Battle Mage Malthus of the Plains

Malthus began his life in the Plains, but was exiled to a desolate camp along the range of the Battle Mage Mountains early in his life. It is here he first met his companion, Perseus the rat. In order to survive he quickly developed an aptitude to thieving and sneaking, though he never took more than he needed to just get by. He would hone these skills and grow up to do mercenary work many others wouldn't take. He quickly earned a reputation of being willing to take any job and completing the job quietly and well. Most skilled with enchantment magic, he often aims to influence and manipulate animals and others.

As he's continued to age, Malthus has sought to travel as much as he can. He likes to play board/card games and smoke by the fire with his partner Larissa, their familiars, and his pony Bubaloo. He is a romantic inside but shows it to few. His rose not only helps him channel his magic, but is also a reflection of his thorny exterior and love of beauty.
