About

Stubborn • Conceited • Intelligent • Vain

Ancalis, once a revered Altmer Magus and Thalmor Agent, is the Heir of the Maormer Divine - The Tempest. He is a half-mortal spirit [known as a Jynn] with a unique connection to the mortal and spirit planes. A powerful shapeshifter and sorceror, he uses magic to hide his true form - a sky serpent.

Ancalis' personality has been known to fluctuate depending on who is in his company. Despite being an introvert, Ancalis values conversation and debate. Usually, he is a rather stern person who's honesty and lack of sensitive nature can mean conversation with him leaves much to be desired. He tries to be serious in a majority of situations and maintain a level head, wanting to be the mature intellectual who people can turn to for answers - but his quick temper can often get the better of him. He often sparks fights or arguments due to his stubbornness and insensitivity. He has an air of self-importance about him that nobody can seem to budge.

History

Ancalis was born into the aftermath of the Oblivion Crisis in the coastal city of Lillandril in the Summerset Isles to Vohltus and Arinwe Orin, a family of mages and enchanters. Ancalis naturally adopted the functions of a mage from his lineage and was taught about the arcane from a young age. He developed Xenophobia after being brought up in a conservative home and the family relocated to Alinor in the Summerset Isles only a few years after Ancalis was born. At the age of eleven, as Ancalis was too young to attend any magical guild or college, he was offered an Apprenticeship with one of the leading Magisters in Alinor at the time - Ormantar. Ormantar was a strict master, one who believed discipline was the foundation of success. It was a harsh apprenticeship, and Ancalis grew with his teachings over the years spent working for his master before he was considered competent enough to leave his company.

When the Third Aldmeri Dominion was formed, Ancalis and his father sought an opportunity and enlisted within the Thalmor. Ancalis trained for six years within the Thalmor before he was appointed as a Magus in the city of Alinor. After proving himself a worthy and competent mage and scholar, Ancalis was one of the most renowned mages in Alinor after many years of service. He had taken on many apprentices in such a time and had also met his future lifelong partner, Eiloente. The two grew close to one another, and Ancalis took on Eiloente's younger brother Coreron on as an apprentice due to the circumstances he had fallen into. A young necromancer who held no real place in their society, Ancalis taught Coreron other, more acceptable, magical arts and how to better control his birthright. After many years of clashing heads and falling back into each other's arms, Eiloente and Ancalis married.

In the year 4E 168, the Thalmor instigated the First War with the Empire. Legions of soldiers were enlisted to fight against the empire over the course of the war, Ancalis was enlisted under Lady Arannelya alongside Lylcano, his oldest friend, and Coreron - his now brother-in-law on the Hammerfell front. His father, Vohltus, was commanded by Lord Naarifin on the Cyrodiil front. Lady Arannelya pushed into Hammerfell, executing victory after victory as she drove north. When Lady Aranneyla's forces clashed with General Decianus in Skaven, a bloody battle ensued. Despite the Aldmeri victory, their forces were greatly diminished. During the battle, Lylcano had injured his leg beyond repair and Coreron suffered severe injuries to his side. Ancalis fought off a majority of forces before he retreated with Lylcano, vowing to return for Coreron. Ancalis himself suffered severe injuries on his retreat, delaying his return to Coreron. By the time he had returned and the battle had been won, Coreron was no longer there and was assumed dead. Ancalis appealed time and time again for their forces to search for Coreron, but due to their wavering military strength they were unable to begin recovery operations. After a few days the Aldmeri troops were defeated and driven back from Skaven. Lady Arannelya's power was crushed as she withdrew and the last of the Thalmor evacuated Hammerfell. Ancalis was rewarded for his effort in the battles and assisted in organizing a memorial for those lost. Vohltus, on the Cyrodiil front, was executed in the Imperial City.

Post Great War

In the wake of the war, Lylcano was discharged from the Thalmor and Ancalis was offered the position of Sapiarch. He turned down the offer, wanting to remain where he was with Eiloente with Lylcano nearby. After the war Ancalis refused to take on apprentices and instead moved onto scholarly endeavours. Despite this, the Elsinor family continuously badgered him to take on their son, Numenandilaron, in an attempt to unlock his magic. Reluctantly, Ancalis accepted Numen as his apprentice. After Coreron's death Ancalis struggled to treat Numen the same as he would his previous apprentices - rivalling the questionable methods of his own master, Ormantar. He was cruel and unforgiving, treating Numen as an obvious burden to society and a waste of space. After failing to draw any Magic from Numen for two years he expelled him from his care abruptly. Growing frustrations between himself and Numen, as well as the unfortunate death of his mother due to Brain Rot, he lost sight of reason. Ancalis wrote a notice on how Numen did not deserve a space within their society and sullying his chances at receiving a calian or another apprenticeship. This sparked a political war between himself and the Elsinor family, who began to struggle with maintaining their space in Alinor. As the last surviving member of the Orin lineage maintaining his status whilst defending himself from the Elsinor retaliation proved troublesome, at times near costing his life.

In the years after the notice when Numenandilaron had been promoted to the head of the Elsinor family the political riot quietened down enough for Ancalis to at last consider settling down without fear for his own life and Eiloente's. In 4E 186, Ancalis and Eiloente had a child - Elenlae, who was born with the same magical competency of her father. He embraced fatherhood greater than any task in his past and dedicated himself to his daughter. When she was just six years old, Ancalis was diagnosed with Yellow Fever - far too progressed to remove from himself. Hastily in his panic, he decided to keep this from his family and friends and decided that if he were to die he wanted to die in the line of duty. He asked permission to be posted elsewhere in Tamriel, and was sent to Skyrim in 4E 190.

4E 203

When Ancano was terminated, Ancalis acted as a temporary ambassador at the college of Winterhold for the Thalmor. When this liaison was no longer necessary, he was posted as a spy inside of the Dark Brotherhood. Ancalis spent six years in the brotherhood, assassinating Vittoria Vici in a plot to assassinate Emperor Titus Mede II. Before this plan could come to fruition, Astrid betrayed the Dark Brotherhood and the sanctuary was destroyed. Ancalis withdrew from his position, and was instead appointed as a Justiciar to hunt down Delphine - a veteran grandmaster of the blades and spearhead of an effort to rebuild the organisation. Instead of completing his task, he was pulled from it by Xujarek - a surviving member of the dark brotherhood and Shavir, a travelling companion. He was not permitted to leave their company for a time, and instead planned on handing Xujarek in as a scapegoat.

After spending some time at the college of Winterhold, Ancalis had been spending the time working on a spell tome to recreate the strength of a dragon's hide. An avid scholar when it came to dragons, Ancalis was determined to finish the tome while he had the opportunity. After battling a dragon priest to obtain Kahvozein's Fang to harvest the scales of a dragon, Ancalis completed the dragonhide tome. Upon casting it, it was ineffective and instead caused an anomaly to spark in his soul. Over time, an anomaly formed in his soul and Ancalis became the host for a dragon sealed inside the artifact named Kahlunzah. This anomaly caused Ancalis to change back and forth between himself and the form of a dragon, shortening his lifespan and accelerating his condition. Ancalis came to the conclusion that it was no longer necessary to salvage his mission due to his circumstance and instead tried to have Xujarek acquitted and resign. Instead, he managed to have himself branded a heretic by the Thalmor. The group travelled south to seek information on how to improve their condition, and stumbled upon a plot to dethrone and kill the mane, Ri'Zaeri. During this time, Shavir passed on his werewolf blood to Ancalis, and it meddled with the dragon anomaly. It annulled his fever and allowed Kahlunzah a more stable condition.
