Mathaf "Slimeball" Grekenhoff is a wizard, but not of the pudgy academic sort you see at most wizard colleges. He's got muscles, and he's not afraid to use them. He got into the Tonory University of Thuamatology on a wrestling scholarship after managing to put an ice mephit in a headlock after the Bursur had too many and decided that he didn't want to pay his bar tab.
Once he was actually in school, he took a strong likely to transmutational magic, but didn't go so well for the enchantment school. He only got through that class by cheating on the test with the help of a drow enchantress who he had strucken up a friendship with and extensive use of Drow Hand Signals. The school did not offer necromancy lessons at all, and Fahtam is glad for that, as he thinks undead are creepy as hell.
Mathaf was trained up by the school wrestling team into becoming their star grappler, and, after college, he went on to spend a year wrestling as a
heel in the WWG (Wizard Wrestling Guild) under the stage name "Slimeball". Sadly, the pressure was too much for him, and he was kicked out of the guild just after winning the championchip belt against a dire bear for his unethical use of Baubu Slime in the ring. He refused to give up the belt and has instead gone east to
Morrowind Rivershire to find opponents worthy of his strength and reclaim his honor.
Mahtaf takes kafaybe quite seriously and
will challenge you to a wrestling match you if you attempt to refer to him as "Slimeball" at any point or mock his purple octopus themed spiked leather armour. Other than those two minor sore spots, though, he's an alright guy as long as you don't have to fight him and aren't squeamish about seeking a guy get his face impaled on metal spikes and melted with acid at the same time.
