We've got a wizard called Bob Sporrington who was born in a small village with the gift of wizardry to an idiot father of but 17 years.

After weird things transpired about the Sporrington household his father gave him to a local wizard called Mordak to get rid of him.

Mordak started off ok but as time went by he became more and more evil. Bob left with a Compass of Destiny that would lead him towards Destiny!

It led him to another small village where he did tricks to amuse the locals. Until Mordak came back for him...

Fleeing his life as a know nothing hedge wizard and following the compass he made it to the city of Art Cackles. His idiot father was there and the compass had led him straight to him. Daddy Sporrington was a pretty terrible con artist but he had a workshop. There Bob tinkered with broken items and scavenged for materials. He kept his magic to a minimum so as to not attract Mordak again.

Then, one day, the compass of destiny was gone. "Criminals must have taken my compass!" And that was the start of the campaign.

This guy in play is Comedy Gold!

He's unlucky, he just has to fiddle with things, when people shout at him he drops to the ground, he cannot explain magic, the nobility hate him for being so common, he cannot get rid of the street urchins that follow him around and he wears a big silly wizard hat (in spite of him trying to keep his magic secret).
