Arch-Mage Hannibal Traven

Hannibal Traven, a Breton mage, is the Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild. He is a staunch opponent of Necromancy, and he will give you many quests related to stamping out the practice in Cyrodiil. He is also the author of The Black Arts on Trial. He is more than willing to give his life for the protection of the guild, as you'll find out in the last Mages Guild quest, when you will find yourself dealing with his precious inheritance.

Traven sure enjoys life as boss and lives a very effortless existence; spending all of his time wandering around the official buildings in the University. He wakes up early at 7am and takes his breakfast for two hours in his chambers. From 9am until 11pm he will be found wandering around the Council room of the Arch-Mage's Tower. He will spend the last two hours of his day wandering around the his quarters in the pinnacle of the tower until his bedtime at 1am.

He wears the unique but unenchanted Arch-Mage's robe and a pair of rare white mage's shoes. He also carries the key to his private quarters and a sizable amount of gold. In combat, he wields a leveled staff.

While most NPCs only have one set of leveled spells, according to their class, Traven has three: the mage set, the sorcerer set, and the warlock set. This means that he can cast six leveled Destruction spells, three leveled Conjuration (only Summon or Turn Undead), three leveled Restoration and Illusion, two leveled Alteration and one leveled Mysticism spell.
