The hooded figure is an ancient creature of great knowledge and unknown appearance and origin that appears in Might and Magic: The Dreamwright and Might and Magic: The Shadowsmith. When Hitch entered the dining hall in Paddifraw's Repose, he saw an "aged-looking individual of indeterminate race and gender" sitting there, bent over a foul-smelling bowl. They were clad in a hooded cloak, with only a large nose and wrinkled, clawlike hands visible. He started to study the bronze disk he had bought from Semmalyne, and suddenly noticed that the stranger sat next to him. Hitch called the disk a "rare and ancient artifact", but the stranger told him that, while it was indeed rare, they were quite sure that it was just 2800 years old at most.
