[b]Name:[/b] Crispin Glass

[b]Race:[/b] Human, though Crispin's studies have lead him to suspect he has ice dragon ancestry

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Appearance:[/b] While certainly not as old as Arthur, Crispin is a good deal older than he appears. Ice is an element of preservation after all. So while is long white hair could be tied to his manner of dress, which seeks to bare his connection to ice as clearly as possible, it is just as likely that it is the one part of his aging that his magic could not slow. Flamboyant to a fault Crispin dresses exclusively in fine robes, all within a chilly blue range of dyes.

[b]Magic:[/b]
Ice: 20
Mana: 12
Mental: 15
Water: 4

[b]Technique:[/b] 
[i]Cryomancy:[/i] Crispin is skilled in the creation of ice, able to draw water out of the air, flash freezing it in nearly any shape he wills; walls, spears, statues, shields, all of it is within his abilities so long as there is liquid in the air.
[i]Cryotherapy:[/i] Crispin is able to stall the physical aging of his body from the inside out, staving off the deterioration of both major interior organs as well as exterior signs of aging such as wrinkles. While Crispin's studies in this field mainly focus on self preservation it also allows him to be fairly useful as a medic in times of crisis, slowing progression of wounds in others.
[i]Temperature control:[/i] By combining his mental and ice magics Crispin is able to sustain a constant temperature control of the library and archives, keeping the room cold and free of moisture at all times, even when not focusing, out of the immediate area, or even while asleep. On extended trips away from the school Crispin can add his knowledge of Mana to this process, enchanting the rooms to remain at a chilled state for a specified amount of time.
[i]Internal Library:[/i] Crispin has focused his Mental magics not on illusion but rather memory and psychic connection. Crispin is able to retain a vast amount of knowledge about the library and archives, able to recall the title, subject, author, and location of every book, scroll, and artifact in the facility. Furthermore Crispin has developed a psychic connection to the magical field the spell tomes generate allowing him to track their movement, use, and even draw more specific information out of them that his memory cannot store.

[b]Abilities:[/b] Crispin is able to survive extremely cold temperatures with little to no protective clothing.

[b]Skills:[/b] Crispin is exceptionally well read, as one could expect from the school archivist and librarian. He is also quite skilled in making extremely detailed and beautiful statues with his cryomancy that he regularly displays in open sections of the library.

[b]Bio:[/b] Born in a chilly northern village of Scandanavia, Crispin, being the latest in a long line of ice mages, was trained in ice magic from a young age. Crispin was sent to an English magic school where he was isolated for his bookish attitude. The experience certainly changed Crispin, but rather than allowing it to defeat him he took great pride in his knowledge and became a leading sorcerer in his field. Determined to retain his love for knowledge and books while simultaneously ensuring that he was never as lonely as he once was, Crispin forced himself to adopt a number of extrovert personality traits, becoming a flamboyant and excitable intellectual. 
His abilities led him to play a major role in the Magic War, where he eventually met and bonded with Arthur Wick. While the two only saw each other sporadically their friendship was long lasting and Crispin was one of the first that Wick called upon when founding his school. Crispin agreed, with a few conditions. First, he would be in charge of the library and archive that the school would undoubtedly require. Magical tomes and artifacts, when stored in close confines, were known to generate vast amounts of heat, while regular books, especially the older ones, required a constant cool and dry climate. Crispin's abilities were perfectly suited to the task. Second, he refused to teach classes, at least not in the traditional sense. "I'm a scholar, Arthur," he had said. "I'll tutor students who share a similar drive in research. I'll work with them in an independent study format, but otherwise I would prefer to act more as a resource than a teacher. I will not spend my time forcing knowledge into those who are not willing to learn."
