Curtis Abern

About
Curtis is a young and fairly talented magic researcher working for Leazas, being the head operative of Leazus' Magic Research building.

He's often mistaken for a female, due to his girly face and unmasculine demeanor, which upsets him a lot. Though many of his mage colleagues seem to get along with him, Rance hates him because he can't stand a man looking like a woman - especially since Rance was mistakenly attracted to him in their first meeting - and is quickly irritated by Curtis' presence, usually insulting or physically abusing him.

He's considered a genius in magic, graduating from the magic academy at the age of 15 with great renown. However, this esteem may only be due to his presence in Leazas, a country undeveloped in the magical arts. His researching skills would likely be fairly unimpressive in a country like Zeth where Magic is more sophisticated. Despite this Curtis is capable of producing unique magical items, like a Love Potion, or improving the natural Magic power of a mage.
