Basil of the Eye, also known as Basil Basilisk, was a powerful magician and Dragon Master during the Turning War. A bear of a man, he was considered one of the true warriors among the Masters. His specialty was paralysis and he could freeze men with a touch or encase them in a block of amber. Basil was a good friend of Tyr and was with him when they were both slain by the traitorous Azran Bedlam at the end of the war.
