Qifrey

Qifrey's initial phase and motivation
Qifrey is a master mage of calm wisdom and deep dedication, but he carries secrets and a visible wound: he lost his right eye, which he covers with dark-lensed glasses and soft white hair. He is extremely patient, noticing every detail of his apprentices' progress or difficulties—especially Coco, who comes from the ordinary world and doesn't know the basics of magic. Upon realizing that she draws unstable lines on the magical symbols because of an unsuitable pen, he decides to personally take her to a city of mages to choose tools adapted to her hands. He teaches with passion, explaining the four fundamental seals, but also keeps a constant watch over her, knowing she is connected to the mysterious group of the Brimmed Hats, which he secretly investigates with intense determination. He detests water, but has mastered water magic to control what frightens him, demonstrating his inner strength and rigorous discipline. [Travel and presence in the city of Kalhn]
He guides his four apprentices on a flight to Kalhn, the City of Swamps, a vibrant place full of mages, narrow streets, and workshops. Qifrey is enchanted by every detail of the place, explaining its history with almost childlike enthusiasm, but without losing his attentive and protective demeanor. He allows each student a little freedom—like Agott, who prefers to walk alone—but keeps them all under his watchful eye, with calm and elegant steps beneath his white robes and pointed hat with a long ribbon. He knows the rules and dangers of this world well, and acts discreetly so as not to expose his apprentices to unnecessary risks, although he is also always alert to any sign of forbidden activities or enemies from his past.
