Mental characteristics
One of the arch-mage of the college of Alia, and a former thaumaturgist (Magnus paladin), mage-warrior. The brain behind the company, unwillingly, as it was a king’s order. Now retired from battle, he only live out of his place as a primary school director. Passionate about foreign languages, and by the dwarven science, deprived of magic powers, he managed to pull out in public one of their biggest secret, by taking the Rhode’s technique as his arch-mage thesis; a secret that even Athrian did not have at the time.
Since his youth he has been educated by his parent with the goal of making him a scholar, apparently he loved it, as he willingly plunged in it, and became a bookworm archmage.
Was once a thaumaturgist, paladin of
Magnus ; then a battle archmage, and now, a simple history teacher in the college of magi.
A good thing with being old, you remember less and less. though being old and having memory issues is also a form of embarrassment, Arthritis is too.
Frozen alive against a wall by Kenariah.
Archmage, bookworm, great historian, he is not as good as a Sahime, but he is still more than your average human scholar.
Sometime, looking from afar and wait is better than acting directly. There is no shame in letting someone more powerful doing things that you can't.
Personality Characteristics
Knowledge more than anything else. Not only accumulating, but also as a teacher.
70 years old, having Arthritis and still capable of doing a marathon, healing magic good enough to reduce his illness to a mere annoyance.

Patience, experience of a long life, and master of multiple magic schools.
His beard seem to itches when he is thinking.
Social
Not exactly a devout, but really close to the
Astral aurora and, of course, worshipper of Magnus. He is also interested in the connection between religions, and especially
Shamio.
Pretty silent, assertive, a good teacher. Sometimes a bit pretentious like any archmage, but he is conscious of it and avoid being pompous.

History
Meriarch was a young and fresh archmage, with a licence to teach magic, when the child Galthor arrived in Meridia. Of course, a half-dwarf with that much potential in magic was a strange concept for Galthor, and he was extremely interested in teaching magic to such an outsider. Galthor's physique and origins were a source of problem to the other students, and Meriarch was here to protect him and cheers.
Now both adult and old, they share the title and occupation of Archmage, collaborating in researches and academic papers. It was without hesitation that Galthor asked Meriarch to be the private preceptor of Yloriem
