Gadwick, the Wizened, is a human wizard of Eldraine. He is an archmage of Vantress.

Background

Vantress wizards (also called loremages, chroniclers, or riddleseekers) make it their mission to seek out the lore of the wilds and dig into the secrets of the convoluted magic of the faeries. They are known to be daring and well-traveled scholars; it is not uncommon for knights of every court to journey into a remote swamp or delve a firefly-lit cavern and find a loremage of Vantress already there. Vantress wizards are experts in contracts with supernatural beings, resolving transformations, and the terms and consequences of faerie promises; they routinely spout off counterexamples, exceptions, and special conditions.

Unlike the other courts, Vantress has no official ruler. Instead, the people of Vantress are led by the Magic Mirror itself. However, as it is a sentient magical object that spends most of its time underwater, most of the day-to-day responsibilities tend to fall on one or two notable Vantress loremages under the title of archmage. It takes a sharp mind to earn the Mirror's respect and decipher its cryptic instructions, so the position of archmage is regarded with a level of respect reserved for the monarchs in other courts. Gadwick is the most recent archmage of Vantress.
