Alfred Reinford

Alfred Reinford was the foremost mage entrusted by House Brechsrode—until he fell in battle during a perilous expedition into the Demon Forest. His overwhelming desire to pass on his legacy prevented his soul from moving on, binding him to the world as a sentient undead known as a Lich. Deep within the forest, fate brought him face to face with a young boy named Wedelin, whom he immediately took as his final apprentice. With only a fortnight before his spirit could rest, Alfred poured every last secret of his magical knowledge and all of his earthly inheritance into that brief but profound bond—becoming the irreplaceable mentor who set the protagonist on the path of magic.
