Life, Career
Tetra begins his life in District 10 and begins works for the Izzet League.
When Tetra was 78 years old, he decided to fully move to the surface. The fast paced lifestyle and huge variety of people and places were more to his liking than the reserved lifestyle of the Undersea. He was also much more able to develop his magical skill on the surface. Knowing that his arcane skill was rare, his family supported the move. Between their money and the money he made helping Arin, Tetra was able to buy an apartment in the Blistercoils (It's easiest to get running water there because it's the neighborhood nearest to the waterwheels and Zonot 7). The Blistercoils are a hub of Izzet league activity, and though he meant to join the Simic combine, the chaotic magic and inventions of the Izzet league appealed to Tetra much more. He chose to work at the laboratory of orientation, mostly due to the convenient commute (which was ironic, considering the laboratory of orientation is the most difficult commute given how it magically shifts location from time to time). The lab's head researcher, a dragonborn sorcerer known as Gargax the gold, saw potential in Tetra, and sought to further instruct Tetra in the ways of magic. After about a year of study/working for the Izzet, Gargax realized his knowledge as a sorcerer couldn't teach Tetra the more wizardly side of magic; only the more chaotic style of sorcerous magic. Thus, he had Tetra enroll at Prism University, Hightower's main school of magical theory and application. Here, Tetra could further refine his spellcasting and gain enough skill to become a researcher himself, rather than just an assistant.
