Benedict Stross
Benedict Stross was a Wizard of the Gold Order in The Empire. [1a]
History
Due to the carelessness of a rival wizard, Benedict lost his hand and although the other wizard was reprimanded, Benedict became obsessed with his missing hand. He convinced himself that he could construct a perfect new hand made of the purest gold, but all his efforts met with failure. Stross finally concluded that he was missing the last vital ingredient: the blood of his rival. So he invited the other wizard to his laboratory to consult on an exciting new project, then locked all the doors and windows to commence his work.[1a]
A month later, the college porters broke the door down a month to find no sign of either Stross or his rival other than a mysterious golden gauntlet with amazing magical properties lying on the floor. [1a]
