Personal history

After leaving the Zoluren Navy, Zuriel Balthazar found himself at a crossroads. He had spent many years as a mage on the seas, honing his magical abilities and learning the ways of the waves. But he felt restless, yearning for something more. That's when he heard about the life of a privateer.

At first, he was hesitant. After all, he had spent his entire career serving under the banner of Zoluren. But the prospect of freedom and adventure was too enticing to ignore. And so, Balthazar left the Navy and set out on his own, taking up the life of a pirate and mercenary.
  For many years, he sailed the seas, plundering ships and fighting in battles across the world. He became infamous among sailors and nobles alike, his name whispered with both fear and admiration. But Balthazar grew tired of the endless fighting and the constant danger. He yearned for something more fulfilling.
That's when he heard about the Timeless Seekers. A group of adventurers, explorers, and scholars, the Seekers traveled the planes in search of knowledge and adventure. They were a group of individuals who prized knowledge above all else, and they welcomed Balthazar with open arms.
  For the past few decades, Balthazar has been a devoted member of the Seekers. He has sailed the seas, traversed the planes, and explored forgotten ruins in search of hidden knowledge. His magical abilities and his expertise on the sea have made him a valuable member of the group, and he has risen through the ranks to become one of its most respected and revered members.

Education

Zuriel's education as a sorcerer began during his time as an apprentice ship's mage in the Navy of the Zoluren Expeditionary Force. While learning the ropes of shipboard life, he also began to study the arcane arts, particularly those related to controlling water and weather. He quickly proved to be a natural talent, and was soon promoted to full ship's mage.

After leaving the Navy, Zuriel spent some time as a privateer, using his magical talents to aid in raids and battles against enemy ships. It was during this time that he had the opportunity to learn from some of the more powerful and experienced sorcerers he encountered, picking up new techniques and honing his existing skills.
Eventually, Zuriel's path led him to the Timeless Seekers, where he found a new purpose and community. He continued to refine his abilities under the guidance of the other sorcerers in the group, expanding his knowledge to include defensive and protective magic as well.
Despite his many years of training and practice, Zuriel remains humble about his abilities and is always eager to learn more. He spends much of his free time studying ancient tomes of magic, hoping to unlock new secrets and techniques that will aid him and his crew on their travels.
