Faculty

Office of the Headmaster

• Ophelia Servalis - Current Headmistress of Brunnhold.
• Uriah Pinchyme - A small man in his middle forties, Pinchyme was dispatched to Brunnhold to help ensure that a new Headmaster of Headmistress was selected in accordance with the wishes of High Judge Azmus. He failed in this task and is now trying to mitigate the damage that might be caused by the attempting to elevate Mortimer Gormly into the opinions of the Chairs for future consideration.
• Darc Regino - Male galdor, 35 years old. Short, balding man with a hot temper. Works as Ophelia Servalis' secretary. Hates children. Secretly, he has a passion for cartography; it has been suggested that his secretarial work is unfulfilling, and his dream is to own his own aeroship and map the entire world.

Magisters & Chairs

• Achillius Merrin - former Headmaster of Brunnhold
• Pleasis Meringue - Chair of Induction, a short, fat man with a flat-top and a breathless expression.
• Magister Marwen Bavaldi - prolific writer of dozens of spells, Chair of the Library

Library

• Rosie Opkins - Works as a scryer at the Brunnhold library. Unless you are the head librarian, rest assured she hates you. Rosie has red hair in a fairly dramatic cut and favours dramatic eye makeup.

Professors

Please see the Brunnhold Course List for a list of courses available and their respective teachers.

• Professor Harper Moore - Male, 36. A theoretical sorcerer who is currently studying passive genetics with Professor Devlin. He is a polite and intelligent man who manages to remain somewhat respected despite the controversial nature of his work. Unfortunately, he is also prone to distraction and is slightly awkward in galdori social situations. However, his attitude towards passives is comfortable and respectful, which is why he is the unofficial passive liaison for the project. Harper has wavy reddish-brown hair, freckles and glasses. He works in the Parford Wing of the Sciences building, in Laboratory Beta.
• Magister Castor Devlin - Male, 50s. Professor of Perceptive Magic, Magister, and Chair. A greying and perpetually stressed professor who is studying the mental functions in passives in conjunction with Harper Moore. He was once good friends with Ophelia Servalis, but their relationship has been strained ever since she accepted her position as Headmistress. Devlin also works in Laboratory Beta. Lately he has been taking many trips to Vienda for unknown reasons.
• Professor Freja Lux - A visiting professor from Hox, formerly of the Frecks School of Magic, Freja has taken over several of Professor Devlin's classes as he has been recently indisposed. She is a severe woman who chooses her words carefully and seems to delight in challenging students beyond their abilities; she has a particular dislike of Professor Devlin and likes to torture him with news of how poorly his students are doing due to his repeated absences. Her office is located in the Ludvig Wing of the Sciences building, the eighth office on the second floor.
• Professor Doreen Dallium - Teaches Perceptive magic. Wears glasses and has clear, yellow eyes. Her hair is starting to go grey but her mind is as sharp as it ever was. Values politeness and hates jokers with a bright passion.
• Professor Anita Prichard - Teaches history with a self-important, galdor-centric spin. Likes clove cigarettes and as a result always has a watery, basset-like expression. Her hair is brown and worn long in a very antiquated style of up-do.
• Professor Fidelia Runesrow - Holds an Assistant Professorship at Brunnhold, studying the magical sensitivity of ground moles. Does not like her role as a mentor and a teacher but does admire talent at any age. Tends pronounce her words with more "H" sounds than they require. Is 24 years old.
• Professor John Golightly - A well-tempered Physical professor. Golightly is a powerful sorcerer and a patient teacher.
• Professor William J. Bryan - Basic Arithmetic professor. Bald man with a severe black goatee, shot with grey. Yellow green eyes. Round framed glasses. Well spoken and nice, but mostly keeps to himself. Keeps in good health and exercises regularly. Looks a lot younger than his 70 years of age.
• Professor Mackay Benstrum - Engineering Assistant/Successor to Professor Geusso Herwill. Greying black hair, green eyes. Built physique. Wears mostly a brown leather aeroship outfit. 42.
• Professor Griselda Mars - Professor of Advanced Static. Has frizzy hair, horn-rimmed glasses and is often slightly detached from reality. She is brilliant at what she does but also a little jealous of a certain Hoxian professor...
• Professor Anita Graham - Professor of Astronomy. Age 35. Has harsh features and a considered mind. She is quite sure of herself and is socially confident.

Gated Passives & Servants

• Pascual - A passive servant well known for challenging authority and getting punished for it. He died accidentally, after being tripped onto a steak knife by Bronley Fielding.
• Aster - A young passive that works at Brunnhold in the kitchens. She's quite beautiful but that often gets overlooked in favour of her lisp, which makes speaking difficult for her. She's even-tempered and a hard worker. She takes her lot in life as it is.
