Before the days of Pug’s Academy of Magicians at Stardock, Patrus was kept busy with the buzzing questions of his young apprentices. Afterwards, he found himself without students, but he was too proud to seek a scholar’s position at the Academy. He spent much of his time locked in the towers of Northwarden studying books he has borrowed from Sarth. From time to time he is called upon to work some minor magic or another, but few tasks truly challenge his abilities.
