Male, 50s. A greying and perpetually stressed professor who is studying the mental functions in passives in conjunction with Harper Moore. Devlin's history is fraught with troubles; it has been suggested that his wife left him and that he was stripped of his magistership for unknown reasons. 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; he told Ophelia that he was visiting a lady friend, but Professor Moore suspects that it is related to their research.

Lua error in Module:Infobox_NPC at line 14: data must be either of type string or number.

Appearance

Castor Devlin is shorter than the average Anaxi galdor, with darker hair and a more olive complexion than his peers, perhaps speaking of Bastian family ties. He is broad-shouldered and heavier set than his more delicate, younger peers, and he wears his beard and hair well-trimmed and cared for. His spectacles are thick and reveal decades of Perceptive conversation use.

Castor prefers to wear dark colors and tends to overdress for the occasion when invited somewhere.

Personality

Professor Devlin is a quiet man, but that doesn't mean he's not at all congenial or social. When in the right situations, he can be impressively convivial and full of a sharp wit that often leaves his audience laughing, but he is also an intensely private and secretly driven man. He's often tired, always in motion, and seems to be prone to disappearing without notice.

A brilliant professor, if not a somewhat abstract one, Castor can best be described as a thorn in Headmistress Ophelia's side. Since his wife left in early Intas 2718, Mister Devlin has been far more difficult to get a hold of, often missing his office hours and requiring a substitute for his classes.

A Magister and professor of Perceptive Conversation, Castor was once known as a very good friend of Ophelia, but their relationship has become more and more publicly strained. Rumors abound that his wife has left him and while he also works in Laboratory Beta with Harper Moore, he has been taking so many frequent trips to Vienda for unknown reasons, that he's becoming more of a silent partner than active participant. While he has told Ophelia his unexplained absences have been to visit a lady friend, Moore believes it's more related to their research. At least he hopes so.
