Fremont Engelhardt

Fremont had a very unremarkable upbringing, all things considered. His parents were simple villagers of no real note, nor any real magical talent that anyone was aware of. He, however, had a great interest in learning new things and as soon as he heard magic even existed he wanted to know more. And it turned out, he had a bit of natural talent with it, able to cast a fire bolt from a book he'd found without any formal training. Accidentally setting the barn on fire when he did it, however, was not looked upon kindly.

Fortunately for him (and his parents) a kindly wizard happened through the area a few days later, and agreed to teach him a little on the road and drop him off at an academy to get formal training. He did well! He was never the first of his class, but he was also never in the bottom half. Just good enough to not draw extra attention to himself. Upon graduating he joined the Order of Scribes, and is now currently adventuring, looking for any sorts of magical knowledge, secrets, artifacts, or creatures that weren't documented in his studies, intending to be the first to write about them if need be.
