Boronia

Boronia is a powerful elder wizard, being Dan's guardian, teacher, and idol. He is later killed in the second book.

Information
Boronia is an elder wizard, being proficient with magic, particularily enchantments and light magic, who lives in a castle in Daniel Beckon's hometown, taking him in and acting as a teacher to him. Unfortunately, Boronia was too busy, so he appointed several teachers to Dan, who eventually began to abuse him and force him to clean armour to earn money.

Physical Appearance
Boronia is only described as "An old and wrinkled man, with a wooden staff and a long, grizzled white beard, and blue eyes with a caring expression to them. Boronia was also wearing sand coloured robes, which were tattered and frayed, with small holes in some places."

Personality
Boronia is kind and generous, willing to take in Dan so he may have food and a place to sleep, as well as a father figure who can take care of him while his own father is dead. Boronia, being older and more delicate, does not go on the duration of the quest, in fact staying at the castle mainly until he is killed. He does, however, organise the group, and holds the councils where they discuss who will play what role.
