What We Don't Know

Fiercely private about his past, you'll be hard pressed to discover much about the origins of the happy-go-lucky-but-be-nice-or-I’ll-hit-you-with-my-staff mägo, unless he’s revealed it himself.   It's a distinct advantage when you can outlive everyone around you.   How old he is, we don't know.
How powerful he is as a mägo, we don't know.
How many people he knows or has connections with, we truly don't know.   So what DO we know?      

What We Do Know

    Chuck has a seemingly never-ending list of skills, interests, and connections which he has manifest during his interactions with others in more modern times.   Though we lack records of Chuck's actual birth, I can confirm through the ancient Evolu archives that a powerful mägo, roamed the land, battling side by side the Evolu, Kutollum and even the Nocturi races in their fight against the encroaching forces of Mahan.  

All through the night, we received the wounded and weary. Many whispered a grey-robed mägo, calling down wind and lightning from the sky to allow for their escape…and commanded the ground to swallow our enemy whole…

    It has never been a secret as to why Morphiophelius has lived this long...   Chuck has always openly admitted that he used his vast magical knowledge to slow his own aging until a new hero was called. His sole intent was to help whoever possessed the Ithari next to destroy Mahan once and for all.    

A Mägo’s Influence

Another advantage of long life and a lack of social bubbles, is being able to play a key role in the development of society. Chucks titles and exploits include (but are not limited to):      

Professional Parent

Losing his wife and only child to war, Chuck has taken great joy and pride in stepping into random roles, especially as a father-figure. Both Dax and King Robert III were raised by the mägo—in both cases, to save the infants lives.    Morphiophelius was uniquely qualified to teach Dax how to harness his teleportation abilities, while his extensive connections in human society enabled him to groom Robert III to take back his throne as King of Andilain.   Chuck has quickly stepped into a parental role with Wendell P. Dipmier -- showing both guidance and extreme protection over the youth.    

An Ordinary Guy...

There is another side to this amazing mägo, however–and it’s one few people get the chance to witness.   An avid cook and passionate collector of cheese,  Morphiophelius loves to wind down with an aged glass of homemade grapefruit kombucha and a pipe full of mullen when the weather gets nippy.   Late at night, if you sneak close to a cottage window, you just might hear him relaxing to the brilliant musical sounds of Sultans of String, Break of Reality or the ever-popular Gnome band ‘Big Bob and the Thigh Smackers’.
