The Lore of Headmaster Aleister, The Secret Keeper

Introduction

On the Sixth College's campus, a tardy student is quite similar to a mouse scurrying across an open field. Both feel the same primal terror as they hear the flutter of wings and feel a shadow pass over them.

If the errant student is lucky, a griffin has escaped from the zoology department and they're about to experience a swift death.

If they're unlucky, the wings belong to the owl Archimedes and The Headmaster is upon them.

Tardiness is a serious offense in the Sixth College. So is littering, loitering, listlessness, laziness, leaving early, leaving late, leaving the griffin enclosure open... those are just a few of the "L"'s in the code of conduct.

Headmaster Aleister would say that he and the Sixth College are meticulous and have exacting standards. His detractors in the Collegium Arcanum and more than a few former student would say his perfectionism borders on obsession.

Still, it's hard to argue with the results. A graduate of the Sixth College will earn more on their first job than many make in a year, for it is a trade that is worthless without meticulous and exacting standards.

The Sixth College is the College of Keepers. They keep things out, they keep things in, and they keep things hidden.

Their seal on a strongbox or bank vault is an assurance of security, their seal on a barrow or tomb is a dire warning to would-be adventurers, but many of their seals are hidden to all but the most powerful of wizards and never seen at all.

Magic

Aleister is a master of abjuration, binding, and illusion.

Although certainly capable of destructive magics, Aleister finds them unseemly. All that blood is liable to leave a stain and explosions tend to unset ones hat.

Why risk making a mess when you can simply banish the troublemaker to an airless pocket dimension for a little while or send maddening voices to drive them insane? It's certainly much tidier.

It would be so much easier to keep everything on schedule and make it to tea on time if the scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells would simply... forget certian unforunate truths.

Thou Shalt Not Invade Another Mortal Mind is one of The Rules though and Aleister always follows rules to the letter.

Rumors

It is said that there is a service The Keepers provide to the Collegium for which they do not charge and you cannot buy.

Knowledge is power in the Runiverse and the wrong knowledge in the wrong hands is a danger to order.

It is said that Aleister and the Sixth College keep many secrets... for as every wizard knows, to keep something secret is to keep it safe.
