Lord Arimas Ar'Drour was born during the years directly after the War of Chaos in Palanthas. Hearing stories of great heroes such as Raistlin Majere and his nephew Palin Majere, Arimas showed an early interest in magic. At the age of nine he began his studies much to the pride of his mage father and mother, Lord Tiercel and Lady Lilliana. At the request of the Conclave, Arimas travelled to the tower at Wayreth at the age of twenty six to take the Test of High Sorcery. He was accompanied by his childhood mage friend, David, who was also going to take his Test. The two mages took and passed their tests(by request of Lord Arimas and Lord David, details are not included). Both men opted to look upon the ways of the black moon, Nuitari, for their interest in the Art was for personal gain.
The several years after the completion of their Tests were spent in study and light travel. Lord Arimas embarked on several rather foolish quests for magical items, or went with a slaying party to destroy a dragon or capture a renegade mage. Arimas soon built himself a reputation for being an extremely powerful wizard. He was responsible for the capture and conversion of at least thirty renegades. It was reputed that the renegades began to stop resisting in fear for their lives when they heard that Arimas has targeted them. Arimas quickly climbed the ranks of his Order, causing respect rather than discomfort from his brothers. Lord Dalamar, then the Master of the Conclave, took Arimas as his own personal apprentice.
The tension between the races was beginning to climax and the War of the Races was on the horizon. Five years before the Minotaur invasion of the mainland, Lord Arimas was named the Blackmage of the Conlcave. Then war erupted over the land.
During the War, Arimas acted as the Conclave's field "General". He was responsible for several victories over the Ergothian army. Sadly, Lord Dalamar's sanity began to fade as he witnessed his own race slaughter each other. The Conclave decreed that Dalamar was to be "removed from office". Unfortunately, by this time Lord Dalamar had lost hold of reality. He commanded the Conclave to assist his kin despite the entire Ergothian force encamped outside the Tower's doors. Arimas was instructed to act. He complied sadly, forced to slay his long-time mentor.
Arimas was immediately named Head of the Order of Black Robes and soon after a consensus named him as Master of the Conclave. However, the War's ferocity was reaching it's peak. The wizards fought the Ergothians until there was no one left to fight. Arimas was the Master of a broken Conclave. His ranks had been diminished down to a man. The Heads of the other two Orders had been slain. The Order of White Robes had been completely wiped out. Arimas took to the relm of yahoo with his remaining eight mages. In an act of brutal force, Arimas' most powerful mage, Ragnorak, was slain by Swarm Lightbane. Now the Master of the Conclave searches the relm of the Tavern for mages to fill his ranks and regain his empire of magic.
After returning the Conclave to some of its former glory, the Master deemed in necassary that he must go on a journey that would benifit all of the Order, but to do so, it would leave a gap in the heiarchy of the Order. After being gone for so long, the Order, and after awhile, with Arimas's wishes, Arimas stepped down from being Master. He saw that his absence was hindering the Conclave. Morath Soulbane, one of Arimas's closest friends stepped up and took the title of Master, knowing in his heart that is Arimas would ever return he would step down. Arimas is still the most regarded mage in the Order for his power and wisdom.
After a long period of absence Lord Arimas returned to find that the conclave was barely held in place and that two wizards had defected and taken the reigns to the disdain of the remaining members. Furthermore, the defected had erased the past by forgetting the previous members and masters. Filled with a primal rage, Arimas took action. Gathering the mages left loyal around him, Arimas now strives to returns the Conclave to it's former glory...and to punish those who would oppose him.
Arimas is a rather rare species. If there is such thing as an honorable black robe, he is it. He often speaks of changing his loyalties to those of the red or white robes, but he knows that he cannot, for his interest remains to be for personal gain. His dangerous adventuring days have long passed. Arimas stands at about six foot tall and weight around 185lbs. An athletic build can be seen through his velvety black robes. A handsome but worry-worn face is framed by shoulder length, honey-brown hair. Intelligent green eyes capture within them all that happens around him. Arimas has a great deal of responsibility on his shoulders even as his Conclave grows and he will refrain from fighting. However, he will fight for the honor of a lady or friend. Lord Arimas has been the target of several assassination attempts and therefore has several spells cast upon his person at any given time including: Shield, Protection from Good, Protection from Normal Missiles, Protection from Magical Missiles, Detect Invisibility, Globe of Invulnerability, and Prismatic Wall. These spells are upheld by runes upon his robes as not to use his own energy. There is no way to dispell these effects except that a successful Dispell Magic spell is cast directly upon the runes. Arimas also holds the Medallion of the Onyx Dragon given to him by the god Nuitari himself. The Medallion allows Arimas to polymorph into a Huge Onyx Dragon at his wish, thereby gaining all of the abilities of such. The spell is made possible by the medallion, which is a silver chain setted by a faceted onyx stone.
