Raphael

Raphael Amian is a powerful wild mage and the Lord Magus of Ysthar. He is the main character of Till Human Voices Wake Us. His satall is a phoenix named Ishaa.

Early Life
Raphael is the son of Damian Raskae and Pharia Cloudbringer. He has three older siblings, Ulass, Cael, and Tefenadar, a twin brother, Kasian, and two younger sisters, Liassa and Sharien. During his childhood, he was friends with Heloise, who would later name herself Circe.

When he was thirteen, his grandmother and his cousin Gabriel came to live with them. His grandmother disappeared a few weeks later, after laying a powerful magical protection on their whole family. She did this because Gabriel's family had been murdered and she wanted to prevent that from happening again. The cost of the spell was her life, or possibly her ability to stay with her family.

Rapheal's House
Rapheal lives in a house he built himself, and enchanted so no one else could see it unless he invited them. To most, it looks like a smooth lawn with a monument and a sculpture in between the Houses of Parliament and Lambeth Bridge. When it had been built, it had been on a island in the river Thames, but now exists beside the river.

The house contains a kitchen, sitting room, conservatory, single bedroom, bathroom, and study.

The garden outside the house is large, containing a small woods, a few terraces, many fountains, streams, hedges, and statues. There is a steep-sided tor crowned with three trees and a fountain that existed before Raphael moved here.
