Master Hamje Hamje
(a.k.a. Hammy)
Master Hamje Hamje, fondly known as “Hammy,” is a red horned tiefling whose exuberant personality and boundless optimism have made him a beloved figure across the Viridium Empire. Clad in gem-studded capes and bright silks, Hammy exudes joy and flair, hosting lavish open invitation feasts where nobles dine alongside commoners. Though his infernal heritage still grants him faint ties to the Underworld, Hammy has long rejected its darkness, choosing instead to share his culture’s food, music, and traditions with all who cross his path.
Despite his lighthearted nature, Hammy is a formidable mage, renowned as the greatest living enchanter and a historic scholar of ancient artifacts. A former professor and alumnus of Prideworth Academy of the Arcane, Hammy’s reputation as a genius is tempered by his reluctance to fight. Though he avoids conflict whenever possible, any mage foolish enough to challenge him quickly learns why he once held a Sage’s title. Today, Hammy focuses on The Lofty Boutique, the most prestigious magic shop in the Empire, where he crafts wonders for adventurers and aristocrats alike, all while making every customer feel like family.
