Zyrko Vlodmyrovich
Grandmaester of Vyssíjórgen
Notes:
Half-Sinopan. Mother was captured by Sinopan raiders as a young girl, taken back to Enola. Zyrko is born a few years later (~365 AU), and is raised in poverty by his mother after his Sinopan father dies in battle. As a child he receives a vision from Myrvûs, instructing him to find a way back to his home country. He begins studying magic from an elderly Sevnóni prisoner that is kept on display in the town square. He studies for several years, growing secretly more powerful. He is content to stay in Enola and continue learning, but his mother dies of plague when he is 15 and he loses it. He frees his prisoner friend, and together they burn down a good portion of Enola and escape north. His friend dies in the process, but Zyrko makes it across the Dnisjec and makes his way to Vyssíjórgen Academy. He enlists as a student in 389 AU, and he and Kastus become friends. Zyrko has a lot more natural talent than Kastus, but since Kastus has more formal training at this point they have similar skill levels. Shortly after Kastus is given the rank of Maester, the current Grandmaester has a vision of impending chaos (the death of the emperor) and that he is too old to guide the academy through it, so he steps down. Normally the Grandmaester is chosen from among the Archmaesters, but Zyrko gives this rousing speech about how he knows the outside world, and how he has demonstrated his magical talent. He’s eventually chosen as the youngest-ever Grandmaester, and remains in the position in the present day.
