Personal history

The Wizard of the Book is a powerful spellcaster found deep in the Central Massif. Where they came from is unknown, and their past does not seem to have existed up to the turn of the millennia. When the Romans moved through Gaulish lands, they seemed to avoid a number of locations in the Central Massif, including the hidden tower of the Wizard. Strange disturbing happenings were reported back then at the start of the 1st Millennia AD. The local Gauls refused to go near the region to begin with especially the tower. They seemed to claim that it was always there and got worse over time.
 
The Gauls talked of whole tribes & armies disappearing overnight within a mile of the tower, and multiple aberrations were routinely seen & killed around it. They say that a traveller once came to the specific outcrop of rock upon where it now stands. Dressed in a full body covering cloak of the richest purple colour, nobody could tell exactly what the wizard looked like. Unable to tell whether they were male, female, both or neither, the Gauls and their Druids were perturbed and were glad when the Wizard left to go deeper into the Central Massif. There, the Wizard mentioned, was hidden power, power that had been calling to mortals since the ancient Dragon Empire through to the First Men, through to the present day.
 
Disappearing into the Central Massif, trappers, hunters and explorers started to disappear regularly and those that came back were heavily scarred mentally and physically, babbling about a how a tower now stands as if it appeared from nowhere. Interictally carved and with many libraries & ritual spell rooms, dungeons run deep below with many test subjects into the bedrock. Not all of these rooms contain organisms from the Material Plane, but also those drawn the Far Realms.
 
These aberrations are sent out to hunt down, or protect the Wizard who rules the tower. And he sits in the middle with his tower with his favoured three grimoires, two are of his own creation, and one the dreaded Book of Eibon. If the latter is true, they must be powerful beyond mortal comprehension.

Morality & Philosophy

All that is known is that they are extremely competent in the act of spell casting, and seems to be a specialist into the use of Conjuration. Known to have a love of probing the Far Realms, they don't seem to have any problem what is called into the Material Plane. Stories passed down by the locals generation upon generation, the stories seem to point to the Wizard doesn't seem to hate life, but an interest in life from multiple dimensions. One story points out that the Wizard helped a pregnant lady, the daughter of a powerful chieftain with a breech birth. Calling to strange powers in an unknown language, the Wizard eased both mother and new-born, but left a mark on both where they were known for horrific visions of twisted realms, and even more twisted creatures that lived there.
 
The Wizard, for a while, kept in touch with them to see how they were. After a good number of years, both couldn't deal with the visions any more and took their own lives. The Wizard sent a raven with a note & some gold ore to be used to create a 'gift' or sorts so they could be remembered. After this nobody heard anything further from them.
