| |bg=The uncommon product of a human and a being considered in the broad fae and demon family, Malverno always had a gift of magic. From an early age, he was determined to become a great magus, and he quickly sought out the learning available exclusively at the Wrosthorne Academy. After a few years there, Malverno began to work with the Emberwing Order at Archwizard Avethorn's encouragement. Having befriended the Archwizard's guardian, Noria, and having trained with Pepe, famous healer and companion of the legendary Luxuriol, Malverno quickly found a niche he particularly enjoyed: helping various beings in need. | | |bg= |

After establishing most especially a tower in the wilds of the Faeriwood, he settled in for magical enrichment and experimentation. | | On one of his jaunts to another world, he found himself in the city of Port-Au-Feu and decided to keep a doorway open there.

| {{Trait|Empathy|Enhanced|Power|Malverno possesses inborn empathy to a degree far deeper than most. Though he also understands well how to read someone's mood and feelings, with this gift of his mixed parentage, he can manage a sort of emotional communication and even conversation. Comparable to telepathy, but with feelings and concepts instead of words, Malverno can turn this on and off at will. Though it can be used against him if he has it activated and receives overwhelming sensation, it typically can't be disrupted if he isn't using it.}} | | {{Trait|Empathy|Enhanced|Power|Malverno possesses inborn empathy to a degree far deeper than most.

| {{Trait|Magic|Enhanced|Magic|Though he still considers himself a student of magic and probably always will, Malverno has learned well in his life. Malverno is attuned to magic in all its forms, though some naturally come more easily than others. He is able to channel power to make his will reality in a number of ways, such as common offensive and defensive spells, the summoning and banishment of various spirits and creatures, permutation of matter and energy to one form or another, travel between different locations and planes, and so forth. Limited by his physical form and the availability of magical energies, Luxuriol can sense and recognize the ebb and flow of such power, wherever he might be. As such a being, he is also especially susceptible to forces that especially affect magic and the magically-attuned. His power and focus limits the application of this ability, and his success depends on the number and potency of effects required by whatever feat he may attempt.}} | | {{Trait|Magic|Enhanced|Magic|Though he still considers himself a student of magic and probably always will, Malverno has learned well in his life.

| | {{Trait|Companions|||Familiars, companions, or best of friends, whatever you may call them, Malverno has two: a fairy corgi, Bee, and a tanuki called Professor Tanuki. Both are highly magical and will simply vanish into sparkles if in danger, disappearing into one of the magical in-between spaces. They are also protected by Malverno's wards, as he has bonded with them magically. Because of this, he will know if they are in need of him. |
| | |
| | Both Bee and the Professor are extremely smart and can understand spoken languages as well as more subtle animal communication. The true breadth of the Professor's knowledge and abilities are not entirely known, but they presumably are similar to Bee's, with the added possibility of shapeshifting. Bee can fly, float, and hover at will, though he must have enough happy thoughts to do it well. He can accomplish cantrip-level magic and, as a familiar, can help to enhance and bolster Malverno's magical efforts. Both Bee and Professor Tanuki are able to sense magic and, usually, the nature of its user. |
| | |
| | Bee and Professor Tanuki may be summoned to Malverno with little effort, since they are connected on a magical level. If necessary, Bee and the Professor may also be able to summon Malverno to them, though this is rare.}} |
| {{Trait|Friends|||In his efforts to help living things and his enthusiasm for the small, the cute, and the downtrodden, Malverno has made a number of loyal and helpful friends who are always ready to help. They number among them a dragonet, a number of gelatinous morphopods, and an adventuring duo named Parsley and Chive. Parsley is a green dodo, and Chive is a corgi, both with some magic specialties including feather fall, teleportation, and healing between them, and both are experienced adventurers. The many other friends over the years are all varied in who and what they are, and which interests they have, as well as what kind of gifts. | | {{Trait|Friends|||In his efforts to help living things and his enthusiasm for the small, the cute, and the downtrodden, Malverno has made a number of loyal and helpful friends who are always ready to help.
