Banedon is a young magician studying the arcane arts at the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star, the magician's guild in Toran, a Sommerlending port north of Holmgard. When he first appears (in Flight from the Dark), he is a novice, but he quickly advances in rank throughout the series and eventually becomes Guildmaster. He later becomes Lone Wolf's teacher in the use of left-hand magic as well (in the Kai Grandmaster and the New Order series). In the Legends of Lone Wolf novel series he becomes romantically attracted to the demi-goddess Alyss. See also: How to Meet Banedon in Flight from the Dark
