Halavar was an archwizard of Palter who spent most of his time entertaining the youth of Netheril. He created a magical item, Halavar's universal pantograph that allowed him to reproduce his puppets and marionettes. Through a strange twist of fate, the device could also copy just about anything that could fit in the box, even living beings. He escaped a lynch bob of angry devotees of Selûne and Tyche, but was killed by bandits who ended up using his creation to get rich.
