Tindal

A former illusionist turned , Tindal is abarker for Carnival (Society). Called the The Amazing Soul-less Man, Tindal believes an arcane accident ripped away his reflection and turned it into a Ravenloft Fetch. In reality, Tindal is actually (or was once) the mirror reflection (a more ideal reflection) of Tindafalus, an unscrupulous wizard whom swapped places with after an experiment with a magic mirror went awry. Ironically, Tindal is a man of character and charm his "real" counterpart could never match.

Tindal knows Silessa by way of Tindalafus' association of her old master, Sarlandril. Tindal has noted Silessa has shown an aversion toward him. Tindal attributes this to not helping free her from Sarlandril previously, but in reality it is because she has observed Tindal is not the same as Tindafalus.

Background

In 745 BC, Tindalafus attempted to switch his appearance with that of a much more handsome reflection of himself from one of his magic mirrors. The experiment failed and badly backfired, leaving Tindalafus trapped in the mirror world and his ideal reflection in the real world. Tindal later joined Carnival and successfully persuaded Isolde to travel to Sithicus and free Silessa.

Tindal believes himself to be the real Tindafalus, having achieved a karmic rebirth of sorts after the accident. Because of "his" dark actions previously, Tindal has given up the practice of magic.

Signature Possessions

Tindal carries a magical cane that looks to be made of flimsy wood, but this is only an illusion. It actually functions as a durable quarterstaff.

Other Information

Tindal could be considered a wisp, in that he has no obvious deformities other than a lack of a mirror reflection and a lack of a shadow, a trait he gained thanks to the Twisting.
