Background and History

Annan took on the identity of the missing Lewis Reeves, whose resemblance to him made the deception plausible. After an attack apparently intended to test that identity, Annan told his companions he was not Lewis and had no connection to the Reeves family. They chose to remain with him 54 99. He nevertheless grew close to Lewis’s sisters, Idelia and Leila, and contributed money and supplies to protect their household and territory 162 168.

As King of the North, Annan set out to establish Star-Moon Bay. He withdrew from the site when nearby gnolls made settlement unsafe, then returned with people and supplies to develop it. His later work centered on Free City: recruiting displaced people, expanding trade and industry, and preparing its defenses against Ratfolk and Demons 148 161 162 712 873.

Annan competed for Solz Magic Academy, using elemental summons to win matches and build a reputation as a formidable Sorcerer. The academy later made him an Honorary Professor and gave him a Pioneer’s Warrant to claim unowned land in the Montablinlock Duchy 353 356 413.

Appearance

Annan is noted for his youthful, unusually beautiful appearance. His black hair makes him recognizable as the King of the North; advancing to Elite subtly refined his looks and made his eyes particularly captivating 300 600 1163.

• Hair: Black 300 744.
• Eyes: Described as black-gemstone-like after his Elite advancement 844.
• Public image: A wanted notice called him “exceptionally beautiful” and noted a black gemstone earring in his left ear 621.

Personality

Annan is curious, quick to improvise, and willing to test unconventional ideas. When ambushed, he turned his summoning spell and a Blue Dragon’s interest in treasure against his attackers; in competition, he feigned exhaustion to mislead opponents 53 356. He can also be calculating, using publicity, negotiation, and disguises to pursue his goals 400 674 1022.

He repeatedly spends his resources on others, including refugees, the Reeves family, and Free City’s inventors 138 162 530. His compassion does not prevent him from confronting people he holds responsible for serious harm: he insists that the Red Dragon Sorcerer Nanako answer for bringing Demons to the Northern Frontier 906.

Abilities & Skills

Summoning and Portals

Annan’s Sorcerer magic specializes in summoning. He can turn the first-circle Lesser Summoning Spell into a Portal, a feat far beyond the spell’s ordinary use 289.

• Summons elementals in combat, including Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Elementals 353 356.
• Uses Portals for travel, communication, and moving people or supplies 162 547 1326.
• Established a permanent Large Water Elemental named Lemon after advancing to Elite 601.
• Cannot readily learn ordinary spells outside his talent: he briefly managed Mage Hand but gained no lasting mastery of it 53 289.

Innate Spell

Annan gained an innate spell upon reaching Elite, but both documented attempts exhausted his magic before the incantation was complete 601.

• The first attempt briefly manifested a radiant, winged figure; the second produced a horned, dark-red figure 601.
• Dean Breichim judged the spell potentially fifth circle or higher. Its differing manifestations remain unexplained 601.

Major Arcs

• Mistaken heir: Annan’s resemblance to Lewis Reeves draws suspicion and attacks; he eventually reveals the impersonation to his companions 54 99.
• Building a territory: He establishes Star-Moon Bay, supports the Reeves family, and helps Free City grow through settlement, industry, and trade 148 162 168 712.
• Academy competition: His summoning victories raise his profile and lead to an academy appointment and a new land warrant 353 356 413.
• Wider conflicts: Annan becomes involved in the Ratfolk and Demon threats, diplomatic alliances, and investigations into concealed political wrongdoing 566 873 1057 1150.
