Maron Blackthorne

The bramble sorcerer serves the interests of green dragons, walking where his masters cannot and speaking on their behalf to other forest dwellers.
Amriel Thask
Amriel is a hollow shell of a man. He was raised to believe dragons are the true masters of the world, and his will is so broken that he cannot believe otherwise. When in the presence of a dragon, he hangs on the creature's every word, and is greatly tempted to grovel like a slave. When away from dragons, he is arrogant and condescending, knowing that the dragons have chosen him to interact with lesser races so they do not have to. His greatest hope is to become a dragon disciple so that he can become closer in flesh and spirit to his masters.
Combat Encounters: Amriel could be the guardian of or advisor to a young dragon, an agent of a more mature dragon, or the leader of a kobold tribe.
Roleplaying Encounters: Amriel might be a liaison between the PCs and a nearby dragon, an agent of a secretive group of druids, or the last survivor of a dragon cult that was wiped out by a hostile force.

The storm sorcerer battles his enemies with wind and lightning, reveling in nature's destructive power.
Valendron Oparal
Valendron hails from an elven village in the high mountains. When he was an infant, he and his mother were caught outside in a storm and struck by a bolt of lightning. Though his mother died, he survived, and as a youth he began to develop arcane powers. He believes that storms and natural disasters eliminate the weak, allowing the strong to survive. He struck out on his own to find others like himself.
Combat Encounters: Valendron might join with air mephits, air elementals, or jann trying to open a portal to or increase the influence of the Plane of Air. He may share a lair with electricity-using creatures such as behirs, shocker lizards, or blue dragons.
Roleplaying Encounters: Valendron may be looking for survivors in a village or town wrecked by a powerful storm, or could instead be searching for magic items relating to air, weather, and electricity.

The bloodfire sorcerer withers her enemies with flame and quickens her allies with hot-blooded ferocity.
Sindriza
Sindriza was born to a shaman in an efreet-worshiping orc tribe. Her magic manifested early, burning anyone who tried to harm her and keeping her warm when the chief tried to abandon her to die in the cold. She embraced her tribe's love of violence and fire, and loves to use her powers to maim, torture, and kill. She believes she is blessed by the fire gods and meant to use her magic to conquer and destroy. She is a pyromaniac, and has difficulty resisting her urge to ignite flammable objects, creatures, and buildings.
Combat Encounters: Sindriza readily allies with bandits, raiders, or mercenaries, especially if they are prone to needless violence and arson. She may lead a fire cult, or serve an efreet or a gang of fire giants.
Roleplaying Encounters: Sindriza can be a valuable ally if she's allowed to satiate her destructive urges. She grows restless if kept on a short leash, even by a strong master, and is prone to verbally lash out at dwarves and elves if she can't physically attack them.

The trickster mage thinks everyone deserves to be the butt of his jokes, even if they don't want to be.
Qualzar Jallarimple
Qualzar's heritage includes mischievous fey who tie shoelaces, curdle milk, and generally make nuisances of themselves. He claims to not understand why other creatures find his humor malicious, but in truth he doesn't care. He's willing to hurt others for the sake of a pun or punch line, and has a book of plucked fairy wings to prove it.
Combat Encounters: Qualzar may try to annoy the PCs in a city or woodland, either for spite or as part of some elaborate, cruel joke. If one of his victims is injured in a funny way, he laughs even harder. His actions could be incidental to another encounter—he might appear just long enough to make trouble during a fight, then leave and not be seen again for weeks.
Roleplaying Encounters: Qualzar could lead a troupe of gnomes or be a recent outcast from a famous circle of allies. He might make catcalls at PCs to undermine their diplomatic efforts, or arrange to humiliate them at a time when they can't retaliate.

The sacred sorcerer is an agent of the gods, less constrained than a priest and armed with magic rarely used by other servants of the divine.
Evangeline de Jille
Evangeline is blessed by divine magic, but not quite willing to devote herself to the causes of good and order. Instead, she uses her powers to protect herself, travel, and learn more about the world. Though she seeks balance in her life, the innate goodness within her finds overt evil and cruelty to be repugnant, and she distances herself from such people and things that exhibit them.

The blackscale sorcerer channels the powers of corruption and sloth.
Brax Swampblack
Brax was born in an inbred human village tainted by swamp magic and a forgotten legacy of despicable acts. He is primarily driven by hunger and the urge to corrupt others, though his sloth often gets the better of him. He is equally comfortable sleeping in a bed, in a sewer, or on a pile of corpses. When his laziness overcomes his violent tendencies, he is talkative but dull, concerned more with his inflated ego than anything of consequence.
Combat Encounters: Brax is usually a loner, but he may browbeat simple creatures, such as boggards, orcs, or trolls, into serving him.
Roleplaying Encounters:When Brax is feeling particularly sated, flattery could convince him to work with the PCs, especially if their goal is removing threats to his territory.

The lucky mage uses her magic, innate talents and good fortune to survive incredible odds with barely a scratch. Rather than depend on this strange fortune, however, the lucky mage constantly strives to understand and harness her unique abilities.
Amaryllis Hollendock
Amaryllis, a relaxed and personable halfling, tries not to upset the apple cart too much, mainly because she doesn't like seeing other people get hurt. She trusts her powers to get her through danger alive, but carries a burden of guilt over friends she wasn't able to save. She hides this underneath a veneer of constant cheerfulness and good humor, and is fond of using her magic to delight others and make friends—though anyone who underestimates her because of her love of clowning and children may find themselves in desperate straits should they rile her anger.
Combat Encounters: Amaryllis might fight the PCs if she believes they are responsible for harming her friends or threatening a person or place she cares about. She has a strong sense of fairness, and may attack the PCs to right an affront against someone else. She is quick to jump to conclusions, but also quick to talk if the PCs try to explain themselves.
Roleplaying Encounters: Amaryllis can be recruited as an ally easily, especially if the PCs look like they can take care of themselves. The PCs may meet her in the midst of a deadly situation—an opportune meeting she sees as her luck delivering the right people at the right time.
