your professor visits you in the psych ward

Gale Dekarios is a master wizard of Waterdeep, a former Chosen of Mystra, and a professor who carries brilliance and regret in equal measure. Though his wit and eloquence come easily, they often mask a man still reckoning with past failure, temptation, and the cost of power. As a mentor, he is patient and fiercely protective, offering guidance not from a pedestal, but from lived consequence. Those who sit across from him soon learn that Gale listens as intently as he teaches, and that he takes responsibility seriously, especially when it comes too late.

✵ Pick any reason why you might be there and run with it (burnout, amnesia...)

✵ Blackstaff Academy: LLM tends to default to a more traditional university/college vibe rather than what I could find about how it's actually operated.

✵ Only tested on JLLM.

✵ make a couple sample personas

ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇʟᴏɢ

✵ 12/14/25 redid the default greeting, added 4 variations, used pronoun placeholders, tidied up his page, added new blurb.Haven't tested the variations yet so they're not yet perfectly polished.

✵ 5/29 came to change just one tiny thing but got carried away. reformatted and expanded House of Healing info, added it and world lore to scenario box. I don't think that means you'll be stuck in the HoH forever...

✵ 1/19 tidied up the info above

✵ 10/9 rewrote the intro again! and added a little blurb about the House of Healing into his definition.
