Thyrus Gormann
Thyrus Gormann is a well-known wizard and Patriarch of the Bright Order who was once the Supreme Patriarch until he was challenged and defeated by Balthasar Gelt of the Gold Order.[2][3]
He is a peerless artificer, having learned forging techniques rarely mastered beyond the Gold Order. [5a] Quick to anger and laughter Gormann is a commanding presence that many in the Imperial Court are wary of. [6a]

Appearance
He stands six feet two inches tall with a hawk-like nose, a busy red beard and broad shoulders - looking more like a pit fighter than a wizard. [6a]
History
A old and trusted friend of Karl Franz. [1a][5a][6a]
Thyrus created the Nordwald Citadel where the Imperial army and battle wizards train together. [5a]
He led the Imperial contingent that explored the realm of Albion when the mists hiding that isle abated for a short while.
End Times
During the End Times, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances.[4]
Personality
His exposure to the harsh wind of Aqshy’s has left its mark him, making him difficult and intemperate despite his extensive learning and vast wisdom. Whilst Karl Franz welcomes him at court, his dark moods and flashes of violent rage mean that many envoys and stewards have come to fear him. In addition the burning of the Bretonnian Ambassador Etienne Edouarde Villechaize, Comte de la Rougierre’s beard nearly caused a diplomatic incident. [5a]
