Profile

Equae is a mage and fence that assists Amaeus and Rhzoreck in obtaining the Harmonic Triad and Kavrenthak's journals and planbook.


Warning:
The content below contains spoilers for the media that this character is involved in.


Background

Equae was raised in Verdishang by Aurilore parents. It is unknown where his birth parents are or if they are still alive. He does not know how or why he was separated from his birth parents, but that has not bothered him much. He was given unlimited access to the University of Arcane Knowledge grounds and trained from a young age in the use of magic, primarily Primal magic but occasionally other types of magic as well.

As he grew older, he started getting involved with the criminal underbelly of the city. He found himself drawn to collecting powerful artifacts, although he also found that he didn't necessarily wish to keep them on hand. His fun came from researching them and locating them, which he decided to put to use by becoming a certified relic dealer. Once he could properly evaluate the value of any given relic or artifact, he turned his skills back toward supplying such items under the table to those with the coin to pay for them. Eventually, after becoming a professor at the University, he switched to mainly accepting stolen goods in exchange for coin, or more usually, magical knowledge. He has developed a small clientele for rare and powerful artifacts, though, so he still maintains that service for those who have the coin.

The Harmonic Era

During the Harmonic Era, Equae worked as a fence serving the Invisible Union from his position in the University of Arcane Knowledge. He was contacted by Amaeus Lorendil, who requested his assistance in obtaining a set of ancient artifacts called the Harmonic Triad. After receiving letters of recommendation for both Amaeus and his associate, Rhzoreck, Equae determined that he would need to investigate the latter individual in person to validate his claims of being a Duuema. After his visit to Shitaovriki to perform this verification, he returned to Verdishang to begin his research regarding the artifacts.

Eventually, he was able to discern the location of the artifacts as well as discover who was in possession of Kavrenthak's journals and planbook. Seeing an opportunity to further serve Amaeus and Rhzoreck, he worked toward obtaining all four of the required items. He was able to enlist a group of thieves to obtain the parts of the Triad, but met resistance when attempting to obtain the books. Despite this, the books were turned over to him right at the moment he started to believe that he would need to pull out all the stops. With everything in hand, he was able to fulfill his role and provide Amaeus and Rhzoreck with the remainder of the Triad as well as the books.
