Qiaoyu

An empath from Unbul who grew up a child of an elite warlord in the era of industrial capitalism, but instead of learning to be a warrior, he focused on esoteric arts. With his wealth and power, he was able to learn secrets and focus on magicks few others had access to, and one day, he discovered that he could draw from legends in order to amplify his studies, using powerful rituals. He ended up living quite long, into the era of early imperialism, as he used magic to amplify magic, becoming an actual archmage by mastering all of the poiuomenonic arts. He crafted a wand of Littany metal to help himself use his powers to extend his lifespan. He is now 350 years old.
