SCELUS, e domo Tytali, magus of Flamma Aeterna

91 years out of apprenticeship, 117 years old, follower of Tytalus. Trained in Fudarus, he met Livia and found his spiritual and magical equal, falling in love with her (though of course he won't ever tell her). He is an expert in Pe Co, but like Livia keeps all of his arts good.

Scelus is an Arch Mage (he beat Livia to the position by a couple of months), but his combatitive manner mean that he is little trusted in the tribunal. He is however, utterly loyal to his covenant and Order and has often risked his life -- fighting exotics and fantastic beasts -- in their protection. It has confused magi from other covenants when at Tribunals they assume that he and Livia will act against each other potentially against the covenant, to find that when it comes down to it, despite their antagonism, they will act in favour of the covenant. While other magi from the tribunal trust him little, his orthodox views mean that when he is not in competition with Livia he often aids the Quaesitors in maintenance of order.

Scelus is now quite an established Arch Mage. He was acknowledged as such after defeating a Giant of the North, after finding out the secret of its separate heart. The latter is only knowledge amongst a small number of the Order. Although he still enjoys travelling, he has been kept very busy in the labs at FA in recent years and the only excursions have been to find his new apprentice (a singularly unpleasant young man) and to observe the politics of Winchester.
