Aducath was a mage who ended up possessed by a spirit from the ancient past. He first appeared in Andris, in the year of 430, looking for the ingredients for a potion that would cure his sneezing (an affliction that would manifest itself by the summoning of several air elementals). Even though the people in Andris helped finding the materials, the potion did not work as expected, and made the sneezing worse. In spite of that, Aducath did not mind to announce that he was looking for the Black Hand in order to learn from them how to become a powerful wizard. As it happens, the Hand was looking for Aducath as well, but if they ever found him, that was not recorded in the public archives.
