The Great Wizard

The Great Wizard is a character in The Last Apprentice. He is essentially both the protector and the bane of Momus. He is the self appointed Momusan wizard and offical 'town mover'. No one is quite sure how he got the job but the Momusan townspeople can all agree they he was never invited to be as such. More likely, they were tricked into letting him stay by rumours of great fire breathing monsters that were living in the area at the time. The Great Wizard offered to move their city away from the trouble and then simply never left.

He now spends his time moving the town around and protecting it from outside threats. His moving job, although actually quite unnecessary (except for his love of winter vacation spots), is what makes Momus the 'curiously wandering city' it's known to be. The Great Wizard actually does a better job of maintaining and protecting the city than people give him credit for.

Character
Abnormally intelligent. Unfortunately, he is so intelligent that the less important bits of information like 'where he last left his glasses'(the correct answer to this being 'on one's head') have been stuffed away, unable to be retrieved. He also cares a great deal for Thomothy Wode and most of what he does he does (or what he at least thinks) is for Thomothy's well-being. He shows this by taking control over various things in Thomothy's life and embarrassing him at every occasion.

Physical Appearance
Tall and imposing. Or at least he might be imposing if he wasn't always wearing such ridiculous outfits. He prefers bright colours and has a fondness for purple. He wears various necklaces and talismans (probably to protect him from the many misfortunes that so often follow his spell casting). He also has a pair of half moon spectacles perched on the end of his nose. They don't actually do anything for his eyesight but he feels it adds to his 'grandfatherly wizard' image. He has very light blue eyes with flecks of brown, white-chestnut hair that he hasn't cut in over a hundred years so it hangs down around his knees.
