Quintor Sarric
High Conjurant of Restriction
High Conjurant of Restriction Quintor Sarric
"Unfettered magic is not freedom. It is fire with no hearth."
Of the three High Conjurants, Quintor Sarric is the most feared — and the least understood. While Meralis preserves and Davin transforms, Quintor bars the door.
He is the master of limitation, the architect of containment protocols, and the philosopher of magical restraint. His judgments have shattered sects, silenced forbidden schools, and cast whole practices into doctrinal exile.
Yet to his supporters, he is the guardian of sanity — the flame-warden who keeps the realm from burning itself apart.
Appearance
Quintor is broad-shouldered, with weathered skin and silvered hair cropped short in military fashion. His robes are deep indigo, overlaid with adamant-thread sigils of binding and banishment.
His Doctrine Flame is cold-burning — cobalt and violet — and encased in a hexagonal reliquary shaped like a warded lock.
Personality
Resolute. Stoic. Incorruptible. Quintor speaks rarely but with absolute clarity. He tolerates no rhetorical games and often refuses to engage in debate once a decision is made.
His closest colleagues describe him as surprisingly gentle in private, with a love of carved chess and old cautionary epics. In court, he is thunder made stone.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Quintor's family served as watch-legates in Tarkesh's garrison, and his early life was steeped in regulation and defence. He witnessed a ritual breach at age seven that resulted in twenty-three deaths — a formative horror that shaped his lifelong fixation on control.
He was reluctantly inducted into the Scholae Arcanii only after his aptitude for ward theory could no longer be ignored. He carried both reverence and resentment for the Arcanii into his studies.
Education
Trained under War-Magus Kellius Baran, Quintor specialized in metaphysical restraint, hex-lattice theory, and doctrine enforcement. He designed two original containment matrices before graduation.
His Oath of Containment was performed during a live necromantic purge, in which he personally sealed a rogue conjuration site without casualties.
Employment
Quintor served in the Codex Tribunal as a censor and enforcer for thirty years. His investigations dismantled seven illegal sects, including the infamous Veilbinders of Feldmar.
He gained recognition after crafting the Doctrine of Three Locks — a binding framework that became the foundation for modern containment law.
He joined the Triumvirate in 418 AR after the Stormgate Proclamation, during which he barred elemental invocation in all coastal provinces for five years.
Accomplishments & Achievements
- Authored the Doctrine of Three Locks — now foundational to magical security law.
- Silenced the Crimson Accord — a radical sect experimenting with blood-oath contagion.
- Barred reanimation in civilian districts following the Kess Hollow Incident.
- Voted against the Temporal Threading Protocol despite overwhelming support.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Magic, to Quintor, is a force more dangerous than steel, and far more seductive. He believes doctrine exists to protect society from the sorcerer’s temptations — and the sorcerer from their own unraveling.
He does not hate magic. He fears what it does to those who forget to fear it.
Representation & Legacy
To the Arcanii’s radical fringe, Quintor is a villain. To the military, he is a bulwark. Within the Imperium, his rulings are rarely loved — but always obeyed.
His legacy will be restraint given form: a doctrine of structure in a world that tempts collapse.
"Unfettered magic is not freedom. It is fire with no hearth."
"Better a thousand silences than one unbound scream."
"No spell is harmless. No channel is pure."
