Bezantur
23rd level wizard, Red Wizard of Thay, School of Conjurations and Summoning
NE, Azuth
Human Male
Sabass is an old man with long gray mustaches and small goatee beard and the usual bald head of a Red Wizard of Thay. He has been a wizard for many years. His career has been very adventurous for a Red Wizard; he spent many years in Impiltur and the unsettled area known as Ashanath to the west of Rashemen, and gained an enviable reputation as an adventuring magic-user.
Now he is very sedentary, and the leader (such as there is one) of the political party known as the Researchers. Sabass is not interested in wars of conquest that disrupt trade and keep him from procuring his needs for his researches, and he speaks against the Imperialists whenever the subject comes up. Other Researchers are content to let him express their views, which are fairly similar. Specifically, the Researchers want to be left alone in their researches and feel the Red Wizards should not be expending valuable treasure and magic on foolish adventuring in other lands.
Sabass is especially not enthused about the current invasion of the North Coast cities using salamanders and efreeti (see “Fire Time”). Adventurers going to him can probably gain assistance in stopping this invasion, which Sabass knows could bring down the wrath of the other elemental lords.
