Bertram the wizard

Bertram was born to simple farmers in the land of Uskala but talent scouts determined he had a lot of raw intelligence and willpower, so they offered him a scholarship to the Uskalan Magic School provided he serve the government for five years after graduation.   He agreed, but upon realizing just how corrupt and brutal the kingdom of Uskala truly is, deserted his post. Knowing this could easily get him killed, he sought to put as much distance between him and Uskala as possible and ended up disappearing into the Border Baronies where he tries to parley his magic for honest work, or at least not brutally oppressive work.
