The Penticolfax

The Penticolfax was one of the Wizards of the Amber Temple that locked themselves away in its lowest level. Warded against the other vestiges, the wizards nonetheless succumbed to the influence of the Evening Glory due to the similarity between the everlasting devotion component of her dogma and their eternal zeal for their mission. Each of the wizards became fixated on a different obsession, and each dogmatically insisted their plan of imprisoning the vestiges was the right one. Eventually Magister Krausenatti killed them all using poison. Most of the wizards reanimated as ghosts, though Dr. Keletifold rose as a corporeal undead.[1]

The Penticolfax is filled with paranoia. She is highly prone to believing anyone and everyone could be in league with evil wizards from above seeking to breech the level's defenses. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, she will readily share her conjectures on why her associates came back as spirits after death. The Penticolfax may have been the one seduced by Ivan Randovich into permanently destroying Dr. Keleitfold. This task was necessary to let Ivan and Esmae Amarantha into the vault and access the Evening Glory.[2]
