Kelovir Vanderwryte-Aguri (Kell-oh-veer)
Kelovir is a mysterious and charismatic drow wizard (School of War Magic) known for his mastery of dark magic and intricate knowledge of the Underdark. He has midnight-black skin, silvery white hair that cascades down his back, and striking violet eyes that glimmer with arcane power.
As Kelovir is one of Saran's Callers. He brings a deep understanding of the shadowy arts and the complexities of the Underdark to the Aguri Family. He has been Saran's Caller for years, a relatively short period of time in his life.
Despite this, Kelovir is a cornerstone of the Aguri family structure: openly known, deeply respected, and essential to the smooth education and moral grounding of the Aguri children—his own and those born of Saran's other partners. He acts as a calm, steady presence, he is warmly paternal and endlessly patient with all of the children. His teaching style, as their main tutor, is formal yet compassionate; he is well-loved even by the rowdiest of children. He helps guide the family's values, emphasizing tactical thinking, emotional regulation, and ethical strength.
Kelovir is highly respected among drow society for his magical prowess and cunning nature. He plays a pivotal role in expanding the Aguri Family's influence, particularly in matters related to the Underdark and subterranean networks. Kelovir is known to have ties to various powerful drow factions, utilizing his connections to secure resources, gather information, and further the Aguri Family's goals in the depths below Mienica.
As a young man, before meeting Saran ang getting involved with The Shade, Kelovir left Mienica for the renowned academy of Aurinnois, a coastal city-state on the floating continent of Odeirux—known for its elegant fusion of warcraft, arcane defense, and diplomatic intrigue. There, he studied War Magic, a blend of defensive spellwork, battlefield control, and magical resilience. Kelovir's tactical mind was drawn to this discipline not for conquest, but for protection. He saw magic as a shield between chaos and the people he loved. After a brief time adventuring on Oderiux with a small tactical unit of wizards and battlemages, Kelovir chose to return to Mienica and eventually settle in the Keldris, where he married into the Aguri family.
Kelovir brings the Vanderwryte legacy—with its old money, intellectual elitism, and carefully cultivated social cachet—into Saran’s practical, present-day Keldran politics.His presence makes the family appear wise and far-sighted, rooted in tradition and invested in the future. He helps vet new allies, train elite magical guards, and discreetly advise on magical or military matters. In tense guild negotiations, he sometimes sits silently beside Saran, but his rare words carry immense weight. He also occasionally lends a hand to Halessa and Ianynor, assisting with the arcane enchantments around and stability of the Colosseum.
The Vanderwryte family's connection to The Shade is real but selective—and Kelovir is one of the few who treats it with measured respect rather than suspicion. He sees the Shade not as a threat, but as a system with purpose, especially in the context of death, balance, and necessity.
