Full name Class Nationality First appearanceMagic's Pawn The son of a farmer, Mardic is described as "earthy, square, and brown" (Magic's Pawn), and with a yellow magical aura. Mardic was quiet, not one for much talking. He walked quickly, but moved more slowly in magical workings, "holding reserves back until the very last moment and dithering about full commitment." (Magic's Pawn) This was the source of his problem when working with another mage.
