Wizards

From King's Quest Omnipedia

Wizards are magic users that usually practice magic connected to nature in some way (magic that is elemental in nature, animal familiars, spells derived from ingredients found in nature, or Iconomancy animal transformation spells). Some wizards are benevolent while some are quite evil.

Famous Wizards include:

Crispin was a High Wizard who was one of the leaders of the first Withdrawal from the Other World. He resides in the land of Serenia with his familiar Cedric.

Manannan was (or is) an evil wizard who, using his powers, ruled the land of Llewdor as a tyrant from a house high upon a mountain top. During his reign, brigands, murderers and thieves were allowed (apparently with certain regulations), in Llewdor. Manannan loathed manual labor, and every seventeen years would capture a young infant boy and raise the boy to be his slave, killing each when he became the age of eighteen.

Mordack was a very powerful wizard, as well as a sorcerer. The younger brother of the wizard Manannan, he was just as evil as his brother and had a bad reputation in both the land of Serenia for being powerful and cruel, and in the wizarding world for abusing his power. He was a member of the shadowy Black Cloak Society, and an associate and good friend of Abdul Alhazred and the wizard Shadrack. He lived in a vast castle on an island east of Serenia which was called Mordack's island.

Harlin was an evil wizard living on continent north of Serenia, and he captured the Princess Priscilla and attempted to coerce her into marrying him.

Most wizards belong to the Society of Wizards, unless they break too many rules of the society, apparently.
