Characters

• Merle Ambrose - The headmaster of Ravenwood and found of Wizard City, Ambrose hails from the world of Avalon. He is the one the main player typically goes to at both the beginning and completion of a world. He is also a member of the Council of Light. His backstory begins when he helped King Artorius to become king of Avalon, he then worked for him and lived in his castle with his owl Gamma and his apprentice Morganthe. However, Morganthe's brother Malory infiltrates the castle and sabotages the King's battle with a knight wishing to join the Knights of the Silver Rose by weakening his armor. Artorious then learns of his betrayal and this leads to a battle with him. While at his weakest, Morganthe has mastered the power of the Horned Crown and tricks the king into wearing it, which turns him into the Pendragon. Believing the king to be dead, Ambrose leaves Avalon and meets Bartleby and opens up The Ravenwood School of Magical Arts in Wizard City Ambrose is seen as kind, humble and even humorous at times, but he is serious when necessary. His character is heavily based on the characters Merlin from the legend of King Arthur, Gandalf from the The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, and Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series.

• Dalia Falmea - The Fire Professor at Ravenwood, Dalia Falmea is seen as very suave and polite towards her students. On occasion, she is called "The Fire Lady" by Manders and Water Moles due to her fire-shaped hair. She can also become very serious, especially with issues in the Spiral. It is currently unknown where she is from, but it is possible she is from the world of Darkmoor as she addresses herself as "Madame" in the beginning and there is a character in Pirate 101 game who goes by Madame Vadima who is from Darkmoor and bears a similar appearance to Falmea. In other theories she is an elf from Avalon (considered by her ears) but still is not known how she gained her height. She is loosely based on Minerva McGonagall from the Harry Potter series.

• Lydia Greyrose - The Ice Professor at Ravenwood, Professor Lydia Greyrose has a very cheerful and sweet personality but is also stern at times. She is an elderly fairy from Candyworld and has two half sisters who are not fairies and are evil because they eat the children inhabiting the world (which is similar to the story of Hansel and Gretel). Her half blood was what made her good-hearted and learned the art of Ice magic through extinguishing the flames under the pots where the children were being cooked. At one point, she left her homeworld and went into teaching at Ravenwood. She so far plays a minor role in the plot, being one of the members of the Council of Light.

• Halston Balestrom - Hailing from Marleybone, Professor Halston Balestrom is an anthropomorphic frog and the Professor of Storm magic. He is seen as rather eccentric but does care about his students. His old friend is Sir Thurston Plunkett who went missing on an expedition to Celestia which gives Balestrom his important role in the Morganthe storyline. As well as teaching Storm magic, Balestrom also instructs the students in science (As some Storm students have a reputation for being great inventors) and potions. He also gives players a quest to go to a place and defeat a tower of monster and creatures. He is based on Professor Flitwick from the Harry Potter Series.

• Moolinda Wu - An anthropomorphic Cow from MooShu, Professor Moolinda Wu is the Professor for Life Magic or Theurgy. She is very calm, cheerful, and positive which probably landed her the job as Life Professor in place of Sylvia Drake. She is what you expect out of a Theurgist, loves flowers, very softhearted, and cares about nature, she so far has played no significant role in the story but might in the future. She is based on Professor Sprout from the Harry Potter Series.

• Cyrus Drake - Brother to Malistare, Professor Cyrus Drake teaches Myth magic. Very cruel, Professor Drake rarely teaches the students and instead has them do his bidding, such as fetching his laundry. He also looks for excuses to fail or punish students and shows and especially strong hatred toward the player, this was all caused by his brother leaving him after Sylvia's death. However, toward the end of the Malistare storyline, Professor Drake softens up, he then challenges the player to a duel to see if he/she is strong enough to face his brother. He then helps you to reach the Crown of Fire and attempts to convince his brother to stop his plan by casting an illusion of Sylvia begging him to stop, but it doesn't work and he is forced to abandon the player. After the player defeats Malistare and goes back to Headmaster Ambrose's office, Cyrus admits he should have shown more respect to the player when he first met him/her. He also plays a large role in the Morganthe storyline. He asks you to go somewhere, where you find a Quetzal, a creature from Azteca. At the end of Azteca, when it is destroyed, he follows you to Headmaster Ambrose. Then you learn that he is one of the Council of Light just as you are. Cyrus is based on Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series.

• Dworgyn - Originally the assistant Death Teacher, Dworgyn takes charge as main Death teacher after he and most of the Death students were transported to NightSide by Malistare. He is a hunchback with a lantern and has been working as a servant practically his whole life, including his job as the assistant Professor. He even revealed that he used to work for Dr. Katzenstein as an apprentice since he began working for him after he graduated from "Hench School" which also reveals his original homeworld was Marleybone. His personality is a Stereotype of a Death wizard, loves very little light, can get offended easily, and, even as a henchman, very intelligent. He is based on Igor from Frankenstein.

• Harold Argleston - The librarian at Ravenwood, Harold is an anthropomorphic gray hound from Marleybone and is seen as very booksmart and polite. However, he is very strict when he needs to be which is stereotypical for a librarian. He also is a vendor for treasure cards and mainly helps the player in quests involving books. Also, just like in the Harry Potter series, his library has a restricted area where students can only enter with special permission, the restricted archives has not become an area so far in the game. He so far plays no big role in the plot. Harold Argleston is loosely based on Irma Pince the librarian in the Harry Potter series.

• Diego Santiago Quariquez Ramirez III - Diego Santiago Quariquez Ramirez III (or simply known as Diego the Duelmaster) is the Swordsmaster of Ravenwood who teaches students about dueling. Diego is a humanoid black unicorn hailing from Valencia and is a very talented fencer but still has proper manners. He seems to be related to the Swordsmaster at Pigswick Benedict Glendemming as they both hail from the same worlds. He is a member of the Council of Light and so far plays no significant role in the plot. He does indeed teach a few spells though if you buy them with training points.

• Mr. Lincoln - The registrar at Ravenwood. He is an anthropomorphic stork who registers the students into Ravenwood. The students can also go to him to refund Training points. He enjoys The Tempest and peanut butter on toast and it is currently unknown where he is from although he might be from Cool Ranch due to his accent. Mr. Lincoln so far plays no major role in the plot.

• Arthur Wethersfield - The Balance instructor at Ravenwood, Arthur is an anthropomorphic dog sporting a suit, a top hat, a cane, and a monocle. Arthur comes from Marleybone and seems to be very experienced in Balance magic as he revealed he has spent ten years in Krokotopia which is home to Balance magic and since Marleybonians are not practitioners of magic. He so far shows no significance to the plot.

• Malorn Ashthorn - A student who teaches Death Spells. He began teaching the spells after Malistaire Drake disappeared.

• Alzhared - An old Krok in Krokotopia, Alzhared is the Balance teacher who's classroom is beneath the Kroko-Sphinx. He is seen as very wise and kind due to his age. Alzhared is also the leader of The Order of The Fang, a society of pure-hearted Kroks who owned the Krokomicon. The main player helps him reunite the members of the Order of the Fang, excluding Krokhotep since after they're all reunited, Alzhared reveals Krokhotep betrayed them by giving the Krokonomicon to Queen Krokopatra. Besides this role in the Malistare storyline, he teaches Balance students and is the only professor who does not have a schoolhouse in Wizard City. He teaches many types of spells and their opposites.
