Master Baldrick

Master Edding Baldrick was one of the Seven guardian wizards of the West in the age of strife and before the war. Baldrick disappeared after the war and his whereabouts are unknown.

Before he joined the guardian wizards Baldrick was a vagrant, a wandering wizard with no allegiance or home. He was known as a kook and a madman, but it was discovered by Lightheart in his early days of study that Baldrick had suffered a terrible curse of madness, and once removed Master Baldrick awoke to display a mastery of evocation against which no wizard of his time could compare.

The curse was so powerful that it could not be completely removed, and Baldrick suffered from fits of madness on and of for the rest of his life. Baldrick had no memory of how he was cursed or by whom, and seemed very much not to be concerned with it, even once it was partially lifted. Some side effects of his madness was a keen love of jokes and pranks often at the expense of his peers, often inappropriate though never dangerous.
