Iustus filius Aequi, e domo Guernici, magus of Magvillus

Iustus is a half-fae ultra-traditionalist quaesitor. Based in Magvillus, he has worked in many tribunals investigating diabolism with the Order. He could be encountered either at Magvillus or whenever there is a rumour (or worse) of diabolism in an outlying tribunal. Iustus is naturally suspicious of everyone he doesn't know well (a natural reaction to so many years of investigation). He is strict, some say harsh, thorough and determined. He doesn't let magi, however important they think themselves, to get away with anything and will not be amused by those not taking his job and him seriously. Although he occasionally travels with a hoplite, he can defend himself. He is a dangerous enemy but could be a useful ally if you can overcome his initial suspicion.

Iustus appears as a man in his mid-thirties, of average height and slim build, with silver-blond hair [From which he can obtain 4 pawns of Co vis per year], fair skin and piercing, reflective green eyes. He usually dresses well in sober, dark clothes of fine cut. Iustus is of fae blood [Fae blood +2], though he was abandoned as an infant and does not know his true parentage, nor does he want to know [Orphan -1]. He despises his heritage, is extremely sensitive [-1] to comments and is keen to prove to be as good or better than a pure human blood member of the Order [Obsession -1] and to serve his house a best he can [Obligation -1].
