Mage Rider

(image)

Ishlars is a rogue Mage Rider. He rides a sturdy horse, albeit not the swiftest available, wears good armor and yet is still a passable melee fighter. Meanwhile his fireball attacks are as powerful as those of any red mage.
Ishlars became a rogue after completing his mage’s training, stepping outside the law so that he could continue studying the arts of war and destruction that most fascinated him. He shows a dark and disturbing talent for creating siege engines and other war machines, and for finding ways to twist magic and enchantments to the serve the brutal needs of battle. Baron Baldres has often found Ishlars’ creations useful, although many of them have only been used once or twice before Ishlars lost interest in them in favor of some other, still darker project.

Special Notes: This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent.
