Riordan is ancient dark elf mage (actually half Sluah Sidh / half Tuatha De Dannan). (His princely father raped his mother, who died in childbirth.) Riordan's main goal in life is to attain immortality. Not just the near-immortality enjoyed by all elves, but the sort possessed only by gods. This unholy quest explains much of his long journey through magedom. First he became a Sorcerer, hoping that some secret of the body would present itself to attain eternal youth. Then, he tried making pacts with demons, but couldn't find any spirit powerful enough to grant his wish. Next, he explored Necromancy, but discovered that the half-life granted by these dark powers only gave a shadow of what he lusted for, and in the end would result in death anyway. Illusionry was his next avenue, in a desperate hope that some power of mind over body would present itself. Mysticism became his next career, since its spells often deal with the manipulation of time. Completely unsuccessful up to this point, Riordan (though already quite evil) became bitter and scorned the very gods he wanted to join for what he saw as a deliberate attempt to hide the divine secret from him. Terrified of his own death and spiteful of every living thing, he abandoned his methodical search for a time and started seeking raw, unlimited power. Enough power, he foolishly hoped, to wrest immortality directly from some deity. In this approach, Riordan turned to Thaumaturgy, Wizardry, and Black Witchcraft. After mastering all these domains, even with all his awesome power, Riordan has been entirely unable to force even the most minor of immortals to accept his challenges and appear before him.

Being an elf, the ancient mage appears youthful, but this facade belies his experience. He is probably the most powerful mage in the world, although he sacrificed becoming a Master Mage and Archmage in order to explore as many avenues of magic as possible in his fruitless quest.

Because of all the mage classes he has picked up, Riordan has spellcasting abilities he ordinarily would not have. He therefore is also effectively an Enchanter and a Creationist. If he ever obtains sufficient experience to gain another class, he will try to find a way to pick up Alchemist, in hopes of discovering the Elixer of Life (which he really believes is nothing but a myth since nobody has apparently discovered it yet, but it's worth a shot - he's found nothing else). Currently, Riordan thinks his best real chance at immortality is to obtain Yggr's Apple, once wielded by Balor. Since apparently even Balor was killed once the Apple was wrested from him, the immortality provided by the relic is not perfect, but it's the best credible chance he's got.

Riordan has emphasized Enchantment (16th level) and Charm of Making (15th level) over most other spells so that he could equip himself and his minions with potent protections and weapons. His personal items are:

1) An obsidian ring (counts as 3 magic items) that has a Charm of Making on it with Disillusion and Magic Reduction (both 8th level). In addition, the same ring is Enchanted (16th level) with the following powers:

  1. Invulnerability Globe (16th level)
  2. Omnipotent Sphere (13th level)

The power of Invulnerabilty Globe can be triggered in one of two ways, either to draw energy for its protective sphere from the ring itself or from Riordan directly. The ring is barred, regeneratively charges itself at a rate of 2 per day, and has a total of 57 charges for use. The charges can also be drawn directly as stress (as a ring of power). Each charge is equivalent to 1 stress.
