Personality: I want to learn about the world.  I'll need money to do that, though, so I'm willing to explore the new continent for the government to earn money.

Bio: The youngest son of a court wizard of a minor lord, he was quickly out-shined by his siblings.  He tried to surpass them in his studies, but his age and the constant distractions he kept finding, interesting but relatively useless bits of information, slowed his progress.  When he became an adult he had to support himself so he became a doctor, one of the few useful skills he had.  He grew bored of it, though and started wondering what the new continent was like.  His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to sign up for the next ship heading there, hoping to study the continent and maybe start a mage school or college there.  He spent his last sixty gold on a fire ring before entering basic training, though he's had little practice with its elemental magic besides starting campfires and lighting candles and lanterns.
