PLACIDUS, e domo Bonisagi, magus of Flamma Aeterna

123 years out of apprenticeship, 146 years old, follower of Bonisagus. Placidus, along with Salaco, Livia, Scelus and Aequus, founded the covenant at the beginning of the colonisation of Britain by the Order. Placidus is an expert in In and Re Vim, but is a great generalist. Although strong enough, he is not an Arch Mage and seems uninterested in such status.

A pleasant man, tall and stout, with a gingery beard tinged silver and over-pink complexion, a soft voice & genial laugh, he is the kernel of good sense and good judgement around which the covenant has flourished.

Placidus is concerned now with maintaining the stability of FA. He has been worried about the lack of new blood and until recently was reluctant to take an apprentice himself ­ his previous apprentice, Caitlin being killed. However, in 903, determined to play his own part in strengthening FA, he searched for and found an apprentice: a pleasant young girl. She is now approaching her gauntlet.

Placidus' ambitions for FA seem unending: he has recently coordinated a massive building and reorganisation project - ­ which has now reached completion ­ allowing more laboratory space, and the further improvement of the library. Future plans include further recruitment, the finding of further vis sources and further improvements to the library.
