Background information:
Edit: Guess Asheron lives in a weird timezone, so writing short background now anyway, still wants the rest reviewed for overpowerdnesd.
Lived the first 10000 years or so in whatever realms genies dwell naturally, but left for earth in order to study a nature and society without the disturbance of magic as prominent, has since travled around, usually in the form of a fat scholar (but also rather like insect forms for their ability to observe without being noticed) and studied in various cities. By now knows the majority of books and knowledge in the world by heart, and enjoy quoting it.
By the long continuous times in human and animal form he has slightly lost contact whit his origin, he enjoy good food and while capable of magic sometimes he use non-magical means instead. (this is more part of his pretending to be a human thou, in private he usually use magic and shapeshift)
Currently studying the social structure of the economic system of Constantinpole, and it's society in general.
