Oswald is a fifth-level Noren Academy wizard, later a mentor at Noren Academy No. 13 and the Mentor of Bill Lyn Black.81011 In the Limestone Realm he poses as Priest Oswald of the native coalition, a persona planted in the natives' minds, and seals the Sky God in a glass orb as experimental material.57 He envies Clark and senses a threat in Jie Ming.10

Relationships

  • Bill Lyn Black: His apprentice; boasts of soul-discipline talent; steers him to Jie Ming's mind-protection artifact.911
  • Clark: Colleague he envies; refused when he asks for Jie Ming's artifacts at ten times the price.810
  • Jie Ming: Provokes his retaliation in the valley; later a felt threat at the second level.610
  • Sky God: Fourth-level being he seals in a glass orb.7
  • Native coalition: The Limestone Realm council he manipulates as a planted priest.37

Background

He appears as a disheveled priest at the native council, showing an escape ring taken from an apprentice and claiming spatial power granted by a god before it vanished.23 In fact he is a Noren Academy high-level wizard; no priest named Oswald ever existed in that world, and the natives' memory of him is a planted suggestion.78 He is due back on the battlefield in a hundred years, and the resources for his sixth-level advancement depend on that tour.8
