Wendell Wilmington

Wendell Wilmington is a mage and was Nora's primary academic rival during her light magic studies. He is the great-grandson of Alistair Wilmington and continues the family tradition of magical artifact expertise, research, and crafting.

Wendell is rather prideful and at one point makes the mistake of challenging Lucian to a duel. At a later point, he is coerced by Lucian's half-brother Waldemar to help synthesize an Orb of Existence Erasure for intended use against Lucian.

Trivia

 * Wendell and Nora have a competitive dynamic similar to their respective ancestors Alistair and Vivian. They maintain this long after Nora switches to dark magic studies.
 * Wendell has an excellent sense of humor and crafts Sandoval's replacement Orb of Winter to look exactly like the ordinary snow globe Sando brought into council when he lost the first one.
