Background
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.
Career
University of Arcane Knowledge
Equae is legally employed as a professor at the University of Arcane Knowledge. He teaches Primal magic to the students who attend the University, although he makes most of his income with more illicit activities. His lessons primarily focus on having respect for the elements and on methods of using Primal magic in supportive ways, instead of destructive ways. He is, though, a firm believer in self-defense, so he does teach a few courses on using Primal magic offensively.
Invisible Union
Equae is also part of the Invisible Union, an organization comprised of individuals engaged in criminal exploits. He did not seek out the Union initially, but in fact was invited into it by the guildmaster after the other man failed to rob him of valuable research notes. He enjoys putting his skills to use, especially when dealing with the students of the University who are all too eager to do anything they can to become more powerful mages. He is incredibly skilled at locating artifacts of great power, even those that have not been seen for extensive periods, and is also skilled in persuasive techniques that assist him in talking people out of artifacts they currently possess.
