Norbert

Norbert is a character in the series Gielinor. He is a wizard who was Deputy Head Wizard at the Wizards' Guild, but has now assumed the role of Head Wizard after the death of Head Wizard Henry.

Character History
Norbert had been a wizard at the Wizards' Guild his whole life, but when the economy crisis struck, the wizards ran out of rune supplies and the essence mines became closed off. It was at this time that the ogres attacked, as the town was defenceless. Ogres took the town captive, and the whole population was killed with the exception of the wizards. They hid away in the Wizards' Guild which they made to look dormant, but this meant not barricading the doors. The Head Wizard was captured shortly after the town was took over and this lead to the guild not having a leader. Norbert took up this role, as he had been deputy head up until then, and fellow wizard Ibrahim takes the title of deputy head ("The Yanille Dilemma").

Weeks later, a gnome called Veedi Limstrood arrived at Yanille looking for work. She found the town overrun by ogres and found refuge in the Wizards' Guild. Norbert is very cautious of her, but she gains his trust. After asking how she can help, Norbert asks her to collect runes for them, mainly chaos and deaths. After Veedi has found a number of runes she returns to the Wizards' Guild only to find it empty ("The Yanille Dilemma").

After escaping the "Cave of Doom", Veedi flees to Yanille to escape her ogre pursuers. She finds haven in the Wizards' Guild once more, and as she goes upstairs she finds Norbert is there with Jake and the other wizards ("The Cave of Doom").
