Mochrie is blunt, a bit worn, and dark-humored. Having suffered for most of his life, and on the receiving end of much scrutiny, he finds humor in peculiar places, and believes that delicate conversation is anything but a necessity. He does, however, have a gentler side-- he absolutely loves his cat.

(WC 51)

Mochrie was born in Mead, far from Faline, as the only child of his two parents. From birth he was afflicted with a skeletal deformity, causing an arched back, twisted spine, and misaligned shoulders and pelvis, resulting in an off-beat gait, limited mobility, and chronic pain-- as well as the scorn or bias of others. For much of his life he worked as a bookseller, and sometimes aided in libraries.

Searching for a way to live comfortably, Mochrie sought out mages to help him, first contacting the Order so close to where he was raised. When the Order mages turned him down and refused to help, telling him that there was no real way to aid him, he continued his search, finding support in the Wild mages of Ivras.

Realizing that the Wild mages had limited access to education, and thus the help they needed, he chose to repay them for their aid, and began a life of book smuggling-- pocketing magical texts and tomes restricted by the Order and delivering them to those who deserved them.
