Sands of Time

Cursed by Heaven and Hell alike, the Mage of Many Names wanders the ages from land to land, his ways often mysterious, his goals changing with events and his moods. At periods he is generous, even honorable, while in other times he is diabolic and quite mad.

From ancient Rome to modern Iraq and then to worlds beyond, he goes by names such as Simon Magus, John Dee, and many others. He can be the strongest of companions yet the most dangerous of enemies.
