Scholar Arcanus

Title: The Dragon-Chronicler
Role: Arcanus is a human scholar who has dedicated his life to tracking the movements and history of the First Brood. He travels with the Vanguard, providing them with "draconic intelligence" in exchange for protection. He is a man of vast knowledge and even greater paranoia.

Secret Motivation: Arcanus is a secret member of the "Obsidian Scale." He uses his position to identify and "remove" anyone who might be a threat to the cult’s plans. He is also responsible for "editing" the Vanguard’s records to hide any evidence of the cult’s activities. He is currently looking for a "Lost Scroll" that contains the true name of Ignis-Kaan.

Adventure Hook: Arcanus asks the party to help him "retrieve" a scroll from a sunken library. The scroll is actually a "Summoning Ritual" for a dragon avatar.
