Overview

He practiced abjuration and ward-scripting magic. ^{[heralds-a#156]}

After his escape, his left arm was swollen with Remains tumors he had sealed beneath abjuration script, leaving him half witness and half walking hazard. ^{[heralds-a#113 · heralds-a#114]}

He carried a magical item that hindered scrying attempts made against him. ^{[heralds-a#149 · heralds-a#155]}

History

Before his escape, Pell Voss stole Naevys Duskbloom's ritual notes along with critical information about the Reminder. ^{[heralds-a#156]}

He was infected with Remains tissue near the collapsed bathhouse, and bound the tumors on his left arm shut with abjuration seals. ^{[heralds-a#156]}

He tried to reach the Flower Vault, but never made it; he was trapped near the collapsed bathhouse instead, and died during the fighting of the Deadreach campaign. ^{[heralds-a#156]}

He died in the same battle as Odran Vey and Apprentice Ilyra Fen. ^{[heralds-a#144 · heralds-a#149]}

His name is one of the seven recorded on Odran Vey's Seven Copper Tags, the roster of Deadreach Arcanists marked dead, missing, or of unresolved status. ^{[heralds-a#143 · heralds-a#144]}
