Antonius Septim

Antonius Septim (28 Lar S088) is perhaps the most accomplished of all living wizards, and one of the most powerful magi in Esgrean History. Antonius currently acts as both leader of the Orus Dei and the King of the Magocratic Kingdom of Orandas. The apprentice of Merano, until he helped defeat his possession, he frailty and age. Nonetheless, he was an exemplar man who served as a magi for the Zemuriah Union, ensuing the safety of the dragonblight at Mt. Redorian, destroying the Black Portal, and leading the Zemuriah Union to victory during the Orcish-Alliance War. He is also honoured in Onth'Thalas as one of the human leaders to defend Onth'Thalas from a foreign invasion.

While a hero of Zemuriah, he has recently opened both the Elves and Humans to talks with the Frostwolf Orcs, who were a united and reformed orcish tribe who left their wicked ways under Go'el. It was also Antonius who purged the political atmosphere of the Orus Dei, which welcomed Orcish Shamans into the organisation, being that Eristrasza had found some promise amongst the orcs through Razgrel, an aged far seer of the Frostwolf Orcs. Antonius has also served as a mentor for many aspiring mages and wizards. Among his students were Maya Lionheart, and the future Onth'Thalassian King, Hadvar Suntorry.

During the Second Great War, Antonius had not anticipated the sudden invasion of Ataranier, who had already been attempting to grow its influence throughout Zemuriah. Despite his faults for not seeing such, he immediately united all nations of Zemuriah to waging war against the invaders, forming the Grand Alliance of Zemuriah. He ordered Hadvar to evacuate as many of his people as possible, while Albert John I of Arracourt would buy the Thalassians time to flee to the east. Antonius decreed that the Alliance forces would make their stand at Veldrunnian Soil, particularly at the fortress-city of Windheim. Antonius anticipated Eristrasza's coming as half of Zemuriah was under Ataranic influence. His prediction came during the Battle of Windheim, when the dragonflight of Mt. Redorian came out of the peaks to give their support to Zemuriah's defenders. Following this event, he was named as Supreme Commander of the Grand Alliance.
