Julian Richelieu is a black mage who worked for the Clergy of Mardük until he defected during the Great War. He has a troubled past, and many still remember him as the right-hand man of Zarnagon from the war years. He is currently a member of the Council of Mages in the Magicracy of Alent and tries to make up for his past mistakes although he hasn't forgotten the clergy's teachings completely. He is willing to do whatever it takes to save the world from the forces that threaten it, even if it means going against the orders of his fellow mages as well as his superior Jemuel.
