Ursam Ebrahimi, Archdean of Necromancy
Appointed in 865, Ursam is the longest-serving archdean of Crescenscia University, having held the position for almost 500 years. He is a quiet and measured professor, and does very little to recruit students to his department, personally reviewing all of the applications they received and interviewing eligible candidates before granting them positions in his school. Necromancy is widely known to be the longest course of study offered by Crescenscia, as Ursam gradually introduced several years of ethics classes as prerequisites before students learn any magical theory or practice. Consequently, the department's graduation rate is about 5%, a fact which has led to many unsuccessful challenges to Ursam's tenure over the years.
Once, about 200 years ago, Ursam briefly resigned to enter the Magus tournament after one of the Magi retired, but he was unsuccessful and was immediately accepted back into his position as the Archdean of Necromancy at Crescenscia. He has not made another attempt since.
