NG, Male Tiefling Wizard, 17
Acolyte of the Tower and gifted mage.

Arlo is a former urchin who managed to sneak into the cave system underneath the tower a few years ago with the goal of stealing magival artifacts. He fell into the Wells of Power at the age of 14 and was mutated by their raw magical energy. These energies mutated him, turning him Albino and granting him deep reserves of magical power. The Obsidian Tower took him in because he was as much a danger to himself and others. In the intervening 3 years he has become one of the most promising young mages at the tower.

• Arlo does not seek danger, but he is not a coward.
• Arlo is headstrong.
• Arlo is reserved in social interactions.
• Arlo trusts no one but Vola
• Arlo does not speak (unless it can't be helped) and will always use Vola as his mouthpiece if he can.
