Thyrus Gormann
Supreme Patriarch
As might be expected, the portfolio of the Supreme Patriarch covers Matters Magickal. He has the air of a seasoned general more than a Magister, and in a sense he is both. There is no doubt that his is a commanding presence, and many at the Imperial court are wary of his tempestuous nature. Quick to laugh, quicker to anger, and the most experienced and powerful Pyromancer in the Old World, he is not the sort of person who suffers fools at all.
Thyrus is one of the oldest and most trusted of the Emperor’s advisors. Karl-Franz regards the Supreme Patriarch as one of the most learned men of magic in the Empire, and also respects his skills as a battlefield commander. Thyrus is devoted to understanding practical applications of magic in war. He is the mastermind behind the Nordwald Citadel, a tall tower overlooking the Hexxerbezrik where the Imperial army trains alongside battle wizards of the colleges.
Long-term exposure to Aqshy’s harsh wind has left its mark on Thyrus’s psyche. For all his extensive learning and vast wisdom, he is a famously difficult and intemperate man. He is given to dark moods and flashes of violent rage. Whilst Karl Franz always welcomes him at court, many envoys and stewards have come to fear the sting of his tongue. Recently, a diplomatic incident with Bretonnia was only narrowly avoided following the singeing of Ambassador Etienne Edouarde Villechaize Comte de la Rougierre’s bodacious beard. There are many wizards in Altdorf who feel that Thyrus is rather too bellicose and self-assured to represent their interests, and look forward to the ascension of a more bookish and scholarly Supreme Patriarch.
