Founder of Mille Lacus and member of the so-called "Powerless Trio." A lover of children, creator of enchanted toys, and author of introductory magical texts written specifically for younger apprentices.
Raised at Calvus Grigori by the Power Trio and Certus; he and his fellow students Querelus, Peregrine, and Collacteus comprised Calvus Grigori's Fourth Fellowship. He Was prematurely declared mage along with rest of the Fellowship in 339 and with them, left Calvus Grigori for Plenilunium Album.
Myops related well to children, and he had a knack for explaining things in terms that they could readily understand. When the Power Trio took on their Second Fellowship at Plenilunium Album, he found that he enjoyed teaching a good deal, and he virtually took over the early training of their new students. When one of the Power Trio's younger students was killed in an accident in 350, however, he was deeply traumatized and held himself accountable; believing himself proven insufficiently responsible to care for others, he vowed never to teach a student of his own.
He left Plenilunium Album with the other descendants of the Power Trio to found Covenant Mille Lacus in the Lake District in 352. Ten years later, with his erstwhile students Quilibet and Aliquis, now grown into magehood, he resolved to leave the covenant for a while to get a taste of what life was like outside of Amicitianism: perhaps inevitably, the three became known to the Order as the "Powerless Trio." [See: Powerless Trio]
In 362, Myops joined the Hall of Touccio, but he neglected to notice that by joining the covenant, he had contracted to remain there either for life or until he had raised a student to magehood. Unwilling to spend the rest of his life at the Hall of Touccio, he broke his vow and took on an apprentice later that year. He returned to Mille Lacus immediately upon the ascension of his student Quaquam to magehood in 378 and was witness to his parentes ritual suicide later that year.
Myops remained at Mille Lacus for the rest of his life, where he was a very popular figure among the Lake District villagers, for whose children he manufactured wonderful toys, and where he authored a number of introductory magical texts written with younger readers in mind. He died in 409, attended upon by his grandson Tetanicus.
