Past Magi of Prospectus Locus

All of the magi who have ever been members of Prospectus Locus, up to 1213, are listed here in order of their admittance.


Calefacto de Aquitaine, Flambeau; born 1120, fraternal twin of Aubrin, Covenant Founder (1141), died 1212; Favored Techniques: Cr, Pe, Favored Form: Ig; Proud, Vengeful, Admiring of Beauty

Calefacto was always second best. He wasn't as good of a warrior as Isabel, he wasn't as good of a politician as Aubrin, and the less said about his labwork the better. Still he made a place for himself by using his gile and his very common common sense. After Isabel's death in 1195 Calefacto became totally driven, almost insane. If he had not been slain in battle it is likely that the Quaesitors would eventually have Marched him. Forticulus claims to have seen Calefacto struck down with his own eyes.

Calefacto's use of magic was very standard Flambeau. He burned things, and if they wouldn't burn, he destroyed them.


Isabel, Flambeau; born 1114, Covenant Founder (1141), died 1195; Favored Tecniques: Cr, Mu, Favored Form: Ig; Deadly Calm, Calculated; Admiring of Beauty

Isabel was the de facto leader of the covenant from 1141 to 1195. She did well at her job, and the sole reason for the covenant not gaining great political power was that Isabel did not wish it. Her primary goal was to preserve the beauty of Moorish Spain. Isabel was a dangerous person to cross, for she would accept insults in a strange calm, and then pay them back ten times over, at her own convenience. Isabel's body is buried in the Prospectus Locus graveyard.

Isabel used flames to make her mark upon the world, but she was not solely a crude creator. She manipulated flames, and controlled them, using them as the instrument of a deadly music.


AUBRIN DE AQUITAINE, Merinita; born 1120, fraternal twin of Calefacto, Covenant Founder (1141); Favored Technique: Re, Favored Forms: Aq, He; Morose +2, Realistic +3, Driven +2

Aubrin, though less then an hour older than his brother, was always mature where Calefacto was juvenile. He has always been the political heart of the covenant, representing it at Tribunals and other meetings of magi. He is very adroit at the skill of compromise and understands that he must give in order to receive. Since the death of his brother and the other magi, Aubrin has become driven to restore Prospectus Locus to its former status, and beyond.

Aubrin has Sidhe blood, a magical hawk named Sheba (the offpsring of his slain familiar), and knows faerie magic. His magical concentration is poor, and thus he has never been able to understand the Mercurian rituals. Aubrin has also been cursed with an alluring demeanor which has frequently gotten him in trouble with members of the opposite sex.

Aubrin manipulates the forces of nature. He works with the elements and plants both. He also speaks with the fay, and knows some of their secret magics. It was Aubrin that the lady of the lake first approached.


Simon, Ex Miscellanea; born 1113, joined 1142, left 1148; Favored Techniques: In, Re; Favored Forms: Me; Self-serving, Manipulative, Dishonest

Simon Ex Miscellanea was a traitor who joined the covenant to spy for Interritus. He used his magical powers in ways the bordered on the edge of the code, manipulating covenfolk and grogs. After Aubrin discovered Simon's true purpose, Calefacto nearly killed him. It is unlikely that Simon is still alive today, given his nature.

Simon was an information specialist. He used Rego and Intellego in order to learn things from others.


Cuneus, Bonisagus; born 1125, joined 1152, left 1158; Favored Techniques: Cr, In; Favored Forms: Vi; Optimistic, Logical, Inquisitive

Cuneus saw potential in Prospectus Locus, and he joined hoping to help the covenant achieve that potential. He slaved for 6 years trying to convince the older magi that Prospectus Locus could become a great place of learning. Finally, in 1158, he gave up and left, not in disgust, but rather in despair. Cuneus has kept up cordial relationships with the magi of Prospectus Locus over the years. Just 8 years ago he passed the tests to become a member of Doissestep.

Cuneus is a theoretical magician. Almost all of his magic centers around Vim. Some of the effects are so obscure that they can't even be noted without the use of Intellego Vim spells. Cuneus hopes to better understand the underlying theories of magic, and so expand them.


Taratus, Tytalus; born 1125, joined 1155, died 1212; Favored Tecnique: Mu; Favored Forms: Co, Te; Private, Gruff, Valorous

Taratus first came to Prospectus Locus due to continuing rumors about old Mercurian magic. He spent many years investigating them, although he made few of his discoveries known to his fellows. More often than not Taratus preferred to be left alone, and so it is surprising that of the half-dozen or so apprentices trained at Prospectus Locus it was one of Tarataus' who decided to remain. Forticulus claims to have seen Taratus struck down with his own eyes.

Foremost Taratus was a warrior. He used his magics as a way to improve that prowess. The grogs of Prospectus Locus were extremely loyal to Taratus, for he always acted as if they were his fellows, not the magi. Though always eager to explore the past, it was never Taratus' greatest skill, and thus his investigations into the Mercurian rumors were mixed. [Storyguide: Chris]


DRAKE, Bjornaer, Heart-beast of a duck; born 1141, joined 1165; Favored Tecniques: In, Mu; Favored Forms: An, Aq; Inquisitive +3, Calm +2, Vengeful +2

A native to Spain, Drake gravitated to Prospectus Locus because of its proximity to the Ebro River and the Mediterranean. He often claims that Prospectus Locus is the most beautiful covenant in the entire Tribunal, as has been forced to fight the occasional certamen to back up this claim. Drake agreed with Isabel that the beauties of Moorish Spain should be preserved, but he was never as militant as she and the other Flambeau and Tytalus. He only joined in raids infrequently, and blames himself severely for not being with his friends in 1212 when they were all slain. This guilt has caused a crack in his usually calm demeanor.

As with all of his house, Drake is skilled with shape-changing magics. He also is particularly adept with Animal and when in uninhabited wilderness. Drake's gift is gentle. A major deficiency with Ignem has always challenged Drake when he goes to war. He is also especially susceptible to Divine magic, and thus avoids the cities of Iberia.

Although Drake concentrates in the arts of Animal and Aquam, he is the most generalist of all the magi of Prospectus Locus, past or present. He has often designed spells for the sheer joy of doing so, with little thought for their practical effect.


Iuxta, Ex Misc.; born 1142, joined 1165, died 1192; Favored Techniques: Cr, Mu; Favored Form: He

Little is spoken of Iuxta Ex Misc., other then the fact that she joined in 1142 and died in 1192 while on a covenant mission.

Iuxta was a Herbam specialist, at one with the woods and able to manipulate them freely.


Lignatora, Merinita; born 1141, joined 1173, died 1175; Favored Techniques: In; Favored Forms: He; Joyful, Gentle, Loyal

Lignatora was taken into Prospectus Locus by Aubrin as a favor to her master. She was an ideal maga, placing the goods of the covenant above her own, a practice which resulted in her quick death.

Lignatora was minorly skilled in learning information from trees and the Earth, but she died before her potential could be realized.


Addictus, Tytalus, filius of Taratus; born 1154, joined 1174, died 1212; Favored Technique: Mu, Favored Forms: Co, Me; Private, Xenophobic, Follower

Addictus was the apprentice of Taratus, and he remained in his master's shadow for his entire life. Even after he became a full magus he often followed Taratus' lead in decisions. Perhaps because of thea sequestered environment he grew up in Addictus disliked foreigners intensely, which is to say anyone but the Christians or Moors of Spain. Addictus is presumed dead.

Addictus distinguished himself from his master only in the matter of his magic. Where Taratus turned his Muto magics inward, to make himself better, Addictus turned them outward, to harm his foes. [Storyguide: Chris]


Ignisa Lamina, Flambeau; born 1148, joined 1188, died 1207; Favored Technique: Cr, Favored Forms: Au, Ig; Brave, Just

Of the last magi of Prospectus Locus Ignisa shined the brightest. She was self-sufficient and independent. She often stood up to Calefacto, unafraid to say when he was wrong. Her death at the hands of the Shadow Flambeau was the result of the same attitude, where she was willing to dare anything for truth.

A lone wolf Flambeau named Intentio once loved Ignisa. He blames the covenant for her death.

Ignisa used her magic to destroy by calling on flames, winds, and lightning. [Storyguide: Bill]


FORTICULUS, Flambeau; born 1172, joined 1200; Favored Techniques: Cr, Favored Forms: Ig; Angry, Judgemental

The first magus to join Prospectus Locus primarily due the ravages of Calefacto. He joined in the destruction eagerly. Forticulus speaks little of the past, and has become even more hot-headed since the disaster of 1212.

Like many of his house, Forticulus is particularly skilled with Ignem. His magic is also subtle, requiring no hand gestures. However, Forticulus' gift is blatant, and he has made a bad name for himself among the mundanes of Aragon. Forticulus also can not heal people with his magic. In the past Forticulus studied under a master renowned for insanity, and some suspect Forticulus may have even darker secrets in his past.

Forticulus magics are unoriginal: he burns things.


Shlachten, Flambeau; born 1166, joined 1205, died 1212; Favored Techniques: Pe, Favored Forms: An, Co; Destructive, Impulsive, Cruel

A German magus, Shlacten was the second magus to join Prospectus Locus primarily due to the ravages of Calefacto. Shlacten is presumed dead.

Shlacten was a Perdo mage, who evoked destruction by uncreating things.


Centerin, Tremere, born 1176, joined 1210, died 1212; Favored Techniques: Re, Favored Forms: Co, Me; Sly, Jealous

Centerin joined the Covenant because he saw an opportunity for power if Calefacto succeeded in his battle against the Shadow Flambeau. Subsequent events prove his timing was poor. Centerin is presumed dead.

Centerin's non-gifted son is still residing at the covenant.

Centerin was a manipulator, controlling body and mind.
