Backstory: Professor Alexander dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and arcane mysteries. As the librarian and researcher for the previous party, he played a crucial role in their quests. When the party didn't return from their last expedition, he felt a deep sense of responsibility.
Instead of sitting idly, the professor delved into his extensive collection of books and scrolls, searching for any clues about the fate of his comrades. His research led him to ancient texts hinting at the existence of escaped vestiges from another realm.
Driven by a sense of duty and friendship, Professor Alexander shifted his focus from merely seeking information to actively hunting down these vestiges. His mastery of the arcane arts and his vast knowledge make him a formidable adversary for the otherworldly entities.
