Ringmaster Cassian

Cassian is an Imperial wizard, the leader of Cassian's Traveling Circus. He works as the ringmaster, conducting the performances and being the frontman of the circus as well as handling its business arrangements and being the primary fincancial beneficiary. Originally from Cyrodill, he was a wizard of the Mages Guild, being an acomplished domination mage. He had talent for showmanship though, and a moral compass that saw him at odds with the guild. Leading to his expulsion from the guild for using his considerable power as a domination mage to enrich himself. He took to the road, founding Cassian's Traveling Circus both in pursuit of more profit and acclaim for himself.   Quotes:
"Step right this way. Step right this way. A wonderous cacophony of delights I have assembled. For your viewing pleasure, at a reasonable price."
"Feats of daring, athleticism and magic. Laid out for for you to enjoy. You need only pay the toll and your wonder, is guaranteed."
"Welcome friends; lords, ladies and gentlefolk. The circus is in town and to entertain, is my pleasure."
"Take your mind from your troubles, from hardship and labour. Pay your fare, sit back, relax, enjoy the show."
"Come friends, come. For a wonderous show I have assembled. Such delights await you, should you pay the price."
"Such a wonderful display of mystism, merriment and marvel I have in store. Come and see, if you dare."
Cassian wear's an entertainer's costume with matching boots, gloves and hat. In battle, he wields a whip and an elven dagger (+1) and carries 2 Potion of Plentiful Healing along with a selection of rare loot and gold.
