Corsair, Father of the Weave
Surprisingly little has been known about the fey, Corsair. It is known that he was involved in teaching the humans how to wield magic, he was involved in the creation of the weave - to a great capacity, having sacrificed his heart in the process - making it possible for humans to be able to tap into its power, and he was involved, more recently, in much of the current history of Travance. Something about the town that released him from his imprisonment from the book kept him around in some capacity.
On a consistent basis, while the town endeavored to destroy him in secret, he continued to persistently aid and hinder them at his whim, seemingly uncaring of their plans for him, even though he caught them in the act more than once. The fey continued to toy with the town, despite his relatively new malicious and twisted nature. Some claimed that his true nature was still hidden beneath the corruption that plagued him for staying in the Material Plane. Others believed he remained for a purpose, but Corsair kept a great deal to himself, as any Fey should.
Corsair has been one, even in his dark nature, to follow rules, more often set forth by himself, but rules that involve deals and favors. Of all recorded moments, he has neither turned away a favor he has owed, for however rare they are, nor ultimately doomed someone for a favor they have asked of him; though he had regularly made them work very hard to gain the request. The rules he followed might be seen as a weakness to exploit for those who sought to see him destroyed, and it may very well have been what caused his death.
It is a strange case, however, for no one has known a Fey to die, and more importantly, a fey whose heart still remains and beats as if alive. It is unclear whether this is in relation to the still intact weave that his heart is connected to or some other facts that remain to be learned. Even with the box that contains it, the heart still exudes a great deal of power, possibly causing the rise in arcane anomalies.
