Current State
A time-mage on a redemption arc — who just commanded the Tarrasque and may be starting to believe he deserves to.
Background
History
A Halfling sorcerer with innate chronurgic powers. Haldak operates on a redemption arc — but what that redemption is aimed at is larger than it appears. His actions throughout the campaign suggest a character working toward something that spans decades and planes.
Time Magic
Haldak's Chronurgy bloodline gives him temporal manipulation abilities. Demonstrated in Session 1 (accelerated Selene temporally) and referenced in party notes ("wibbly wobbly timey wimey bullshit"). His magical prowess culminated in Session 4 with the successful invocation of Titan's Tooth.
Character Arc
Arc Summary
Redemption — or something wearing its shape. Haldak came to the present displaced by centuries, seeking to understand what remains of the Netherese world he knew. His stated goal is to locate the Codicil of the White. He is patient, methodical, and operating on a longer horizon than anyone around him has guessed. The Tarrasque command in Session 4 was a sign — to himself as much as anyone — that he has the capability for something far greater.

Found collapsed on the road north of Conyberry; centuries displaced from the Netherese enclave of Rasilith; joins the party |
First appearance in the campaign |
| A12 |
Othorion killed in Zilnath's road test; Haldak reverses the death — rain stops mid-fall, blood flows backward; reveals true temporal power |
A debt is owed; in his foretellings, Othorion survives only with these companions |
| A13 |
Casts Darkness over Othorion to cover a desperate withdrawal from a House Baenre road ambush |
Direct application of his power in service of the party; the ambush was the first apparent assassination attempt on Othorion |
| A13 |
Visits Elmar Barthen in Phandalin; Barthen recognises the old dialect; they converse in it; Haldak requests historical books on Netheril |
Quiet connection to his displaced past; the books are a step |
