He is typically called Lord Rawal, and is of the Shaper Class. As par most of his kind, he is arrogant, but, he is not nearly so as most of his kind. He is also very clever and manipulative, and a brilliant politician, using the rebellion and turning the council members against each other. His main goal seems to be taking over everything, and he is on his way there. He is more of a moderate shaper, even tolerating the idea that someone who isn't a shaper could learn shaper arts, as he allows the main character to train under the shapers in the keep. He also tends to keep people around who are very efficient, and is very political in the fact that he will keep someone he sees as a useful tool alive until he no longer needs them.
