Olruggio

Idk what to put here so yea Appearance: a middle-aged man with dark hair, a thin beard, and blue eyes, often looking slightly grumpy or unkempt. He wears a long, white, billowy-sleeved shirt, dark pants or a black skirt with a golden belt, and a heavy, dark cloak with blue and gold highlights, featuring a large pointy hood and a distinctive pompom on his witch hat. Backstory: reveals him as a childhood prodigy from Ghodrey, a fire-magic specialist and Qifrey's loyal, gruff "Watchful Eye," dedicated to protecting his friend and the atelier's apprentices, often despite Qifrey's attempts to shield him from danger, acting as a compassionate counterpoint to Qifrey's hidden darkness, especially after a tragic blizzard incident where he couldn't save everyone. He creates helpful magical items and becomes essential support for Qifrey and the students, though their dynamic is complex, with Olruggio often kept in the dark about Qifrey's deeper struggles. Personality: gruff and abrasive but is deeply kind, caring for Qifrey and the apprentices by creating helpful magic items, often to his own exhaustion, while deflecting praise as mere duty, showing a soft-hearted nature beneath his "Watchful Eye" persona, despite his own struggles with deadlines and self-care. Abilities: fire and light magic, known for inventing practical, warm, and inventive magical items like the Searneedle Wand (for searing glyphs) and the Snugstone (for warmth). His signature spells include the Phantasmal Fireball (artificial heatless fire) and light-based creations like the Floatglow Lamp, all designed to assist and innovate, often serving as Qifrey's supportive "Watchful Eye".
