Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born into Seles guild, but no magical or martial aptitude. Mother disappointed in me as failure
Worked for many decades as evangelist for the guild
Spent decades learning magic from my father until I became adept with the arcane; Mother still disappointed as it's not doruvati
Father died recently and I've become alienated from the guild, it's ideals don't match how I've come to perceive the world thanks to the arcane magics. Best friend disappeared shortly after father died
Dimir have just contacted me to join their ranks to spy on Seles; I've accepted in an attempt to discover more about the guilds and what truly is Nature's order on Ravnica.
Education
No formal education.
Learnt arcane magic with the help of father (druid), best friend (cleric). Always was a point of contention that divine magic was impossible for me
Failures & Embarrassments
Failed to get into university despite high family expectations. Mother especially resents me as a failure
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Feels the ideals of Mat'Selesnya are above mortal understanding, a cosmic truth, but not the whole truth.
Thinks that Ravnica has fallen into unnatural anarchy from the Guilds (including the conclave) and strives to understand why and a way to fix it.
I have loyalty to myself and the teachings of my father but don't perceive the guilds to truly have or maintain balance. I wan't to learn more of fate.
Wish to uncover answers to some of the following questions
What magic was the original guildpact and how/why did it fail 76 years ago?
How did Jace become the living guildpact?
Where did the leylines come from and how do they conduct mana?
Is there an end to ravnica? What is beyond the edge?
We know of 5 sources of magic, but is that all of them?
Also want to know what happened to Mor. We frequently spoke about discovering what's beyond Ravnica; did he leave to find the edge?

It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it become rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole.
