Johannes Summerstone

Johannes Summerstone (a.k.a. Johan)

Draconic blood runs through his veins, giving him innate abilities he has yet to fully discover.

Personal history

Much of Johannes’ life has been a long string of chances. He doesn’t quite remember his upbringing except for a soothing voice and the bright green of mosslands. He was raised in a small community, but all he can remember is the names of his family. Where once he was in a comfortable home in the marshlands, he now was on the caravan of a traveling wizard known simply as Gaspard. His strange bloodline gifted by an ancient pact with a green dragon had brought him innate abilities that he has yet to fully discover. Gaspard took him on as his ward and vowed to teach him. Gaspard was an eccentric man that forbade Johannes from reading his scrolls and tomes. He reasoned that the young man would not benefit from it. So Johannes was raised illiterate and only has basic knowledge of his native languages. Johannes was treated more like a common mule than an apprentice. But one night, Gaspard vanished from his tower with no notice, leaving a set of scrolls in his ward’s possession. Having no knowledge of the information they contained, he carried the scrolls with him as he left the tower. He traveled on his own until he was met with guards in a nearby town. They discovered the scrolls and he was captured for possessing ancient texts that could cripple political powers if left in the wrong hands.
