Alligarius Timni was a member of the Institute of Arcane Study on Dominaria in Tamingazin, and an expert on the institute's collection of magical artifacts. He was a wizard of little wisdom. After living, learning, and studying artifacts atop a mountain, he held very little practical experience with magic or combative spellcasting. He was seduced by the country of Suderbod, to aid them against the Valley of Tamingazin, whom he helped originally.[1]
Depiction and development[ | ]
Alligarius is featured in the 1995 novel The Prodigal Sorcerer by Mark Sumner. He is the white-bearded man on the cover, shown being recruited by the Suder ambassador. After he shaves and dresses in Suder clothing, his description matches the original art of the card.[2]
The character was inspired by the flavor text for Prodigal Sorcerer, and his last name references the nickname Tim for this card. The story and character arc are also inspired by the prodigal son religious story trope.
