Daedalus was a sage, once, a long, long time ago - only Daedalus made a mistake and now, centuries later, Icarus pays for that mistake. Well, only technically, since Icarus was the one who chose to consume the crystal where Daedalus' had unfortunately locked his soul....

The current Sages have agreed to keep Icarus around - both to find a way to separate Icarus and Daedalus AND to keep an eye of both of them. They may not remember Daedalus but they sure do know WHAT he did when he had a physical body.

For his part, Icarus is cocky and self-assured. Highly skilled at alchemy, he's agreed to teach apprentice spellcasters in exchange for residence in the Magic Realm and help from the current sages to remove his "passenger". Beneath it all, however, he actually does have a caring soul and for all his complaints does actually enjoy teaching.
