Pius Ignatius

Pius Ignatius is an Imperial statesman. He is the Imperial Tutor.

Summary
Once a man of average height, age has shortened Pius Ignatius. He looks altogether unthreatening, with hair of pure white and gaunt, pulled skin. His murky eyes reveal his blindness and his staff betrays a lame leg.

Though tutor to the Emperor himself, Ignatius does not share the proud, even immoderate, dress of many of his court colleagues. His adornment is plain and his clothing is simple.

Beneath this humble visage lies a powerful wizard.
