He is currently trying to have a program started where foreign captive slaves are tested for Talent, but this is running into much opposition within Senate.
Archmage, Honoured Lord Linus Westingham
Linus is the Head of the Council of Magic, and obviously is a Master Mage. Otherwise, he seems fairly uninteresting as a character. Appearing to be in his late 50s, he is married, and has had 4 children, all grown up now. He has extended the Talent testing program extensively during his term as Archmage, and now all wards of state, and pupils at state schools are tested for talent, with scholarships offered by the Guild to the good ones found.
