==Character Backstory==
Talus von Bacula is the eldest son of the Von Baculas. His father taught him in the ways of wizardry, but Talus left when the pranks his father pulled became rather dangerous, perhaps due to oncoming senility. Talus now explores the world with curiosity, and some tendency towards mischief himself. He travels with his berobed, masked skeletal servitor given by his father. He does love bossing it about, but fears that there may be one last prank in the skeleton's empty skull...
