Editing Vinnie Sorceil

[[File:Vinnie.png|thumb|173x173px|Portrait of Vinnie.]]A surly, soft-spoken, intensely powerful gnome with a southern accent thick enough to cut diamonds on. '''Vinnie''' '''Sorceil''' (''"soar - sail"'') is a kindred-spirit, laid-back, former professor at a magical college, and one of the very few “public” gnomes, as the overwhelming majority of them, as true fey, reside in the [[Gnome Realm]].

Vinnie is an extremely talented illusionist, one of the finest in the world, and was poached for his skills by [[Jimmy Richardson]], CEO of [[Magicorp]] some years ago. He wanted him to develop techniques for deceiving [[Valysir]]’s citizens en masse using complex, state-of-the-art illusions, but when Vinnie refused, he was consequently blackballed and forced out of his job after he refused to aid the corporation.

An alternate version of Vinnie is [[Campaign: 2025|Universe-12]]'s god of magic. According to that realm's mythology, he was a part of a legendary adventurer group that slayed the demon prince Orcus, the power vacuum of which turning him into the god of magic and smoke, more specifically, evil ''‘vvizard ‘vveed''. Vinnie has a staggering amount of control over the nature and fabric of magic in Universe-12, making him virtually omnipotent. His origins are unknown, and he has no known family or peers, except for his demigod son, Gerome.

Vinnie’s patron artifact is the [[Cosmololocon]], a sentient orb of pure magical power that grants the wielder a vast array of abilities and powers. He is known around that universe for his theatrics, and particularly the use of his powers as liberally as is allowed by the Avatars: Most notably when he created Universe-69, a comparably tiny private universe in comparison with natural universes. Despite his enormous power, he has a running track record of losing important things to thieves and being charmed or deceived by others.
