Vaum, the Wandering Arcanist

Vaum is a human magic-user who has disguised himself as a Librarian in order to uncover the Library's secrets. Thus far, his plan seems to be working.

Physical Description
Vaum is an elderly human male. He is heavily emaciated, gaunt-featured, and what little hair he has left is grey. He has disguised himself as a Librarian, wearing a skull-like black mask and clawed gloves and boots. He wears simple, sand-colored robes, belted at the waist with rope, and he has used magic to turn his eyes bright, Librarian green.

Despite his extended stay in the Library, Vaum has thus far managed to avoid becoming a Thrall. It is unknown whether this is due to his disguise somehow managing to trick whatever mechanism creates Thralls, or whether it has sufficiently amused this unknown mechanism to prevent his being converted.

Biography
Like most sorcerers, wizards, and arcanists, Vaum long harbored a wish to expand his knowledge of the magical arts. Rumors of the Library reached his ears, and he immediately devoted his life to finding a way into the fabled place. Over the course of his research, he found that a colleague of his had visited the Library long ago, keeping a journal of their voyage. This journal contained detailed descriptions of a Librarian, which Vaum used as reference when constructing his Librarian disguise.

His disguise (perhaps surprisingly) appeared to be effective, and Vaum took up permanent residence in the Library. He does his best to avoid the Librarians, believing that he would suffer severe consequences were he to be caught. He spends most of his time seeking out new texts; in an infinite world of books, there is more than enough to keep the dedicated researcher busy. When he does interact with other patrons of the Library, it is to implore them not to draw the Librarians' attention to him. It seems that, thus far, he has not been discovered.
