Backstory & Personality

Once a curious apprentice decoding the inner workings of magical constructs, Nicholas Borror rose through the guild ranks with a rare blend of intellect, foresight, and calm resolve. Forged in the pressure chambers of enterprise defense, he earned renown not just as a master of arcane systems, but as a leader who could stabilize chaos with a glance.

For over a decade, he served as High Commander of the Labette Enclave — a fortified digital bastion under constant siege from shadowy invaders and arcane entropy. There, he architected vast interrealm networks, secured knowledge vaults, and mentored the next generation of spellwrights and sentries.

Known across the realm for his command of scriptcraft and ward-forging, Nicholas doesn’t just wield spells — he builds the infrastructure that lets kingdoms thrive. Calm in crisis, deliberate in action, and always five moves ahead, he is the cornerstone of every domain he defends.

Traits: Thinks several moves ahead. Calm under pressure.
Ideals: Secure systems, empower people.
Bonds: Loyal to the Tech Guild and his team.
Flaws: Will chase a rogue process to the ends of the network, even if it’s harmless.
