Specialization: School of Illusion - Kelevra is versed in the art of deception, allowing him to create phantasmal visions, veil himself from another's vision, or even create an effect of silence in an area around himself in a small radius.
Other Magicks:

- Shadow Walker - Kelevra must be in an area of shadowy illumination. He and any one person/creature he touches are then transported along a coiling path of shadows to the edge of the Material Plane where it borders the Plane of Shadow. The effect is largely illusory, but the path is quasi-real. In the region of shadow, he moves at a rate of 50 mph, moveing normally on the borders of the Plane of Shadow, but much more rapidly relative to the Material Plane, thus making it possible to step into the Plane of Shadow, move to the desired distance, and then return to the Material Plane. Because of the blurring of reality between the Plane of Shadow and the Material Plane, details of terrain or areas passed over during transit cannot be made out clearly, nor can the exact spot where travel will end be predicted. It's impossible to judge distances accurately, making the spell virtually useless for scouting or spying.
- Dream - Kelevra, or a messenger touched by him, sends a phantasmal message to others in the form of a dream. The messenger enters a trance, enters the intended recipient's dream, and delivers the message. The message can be of any length, and the recipient remembers it perfectly upon waking. The communication is one way, meaning that the recipient may ask no questions or offer information, nor can the messenger gain any information by observing the recipient's dreams. Once the message is delivered, the messenger's mind returns immediately to his/her body. A messenger disturbed during the trance is immediately awakened, ending the spell and leaving the message incomplete, though while in the trance, the messenger is unaware of surroundings or activities around him/her. He/she is defenseless both physically and mentally while in the trance.
Equipment: Kelevra has a rapier he carries at his waist, given to him by his old master in the Order as a conduit for his power. He was never aptly trained in the arts of swordplay, thus he only draws it when absolutely necessary. He can, however, draw power from it at any point, as long as it is in physical contact with his body.
Personality: Mysterious, cryptic, somewhat an enigma to himself and to others. Inquisitive to a fault, and very intelligible. Always keeps his true intentions hidden from all except those he truly trusts, which are few and far between.
Bio: Richter Kelevra has no true memory of his life before the Order, although certain details have been revealed to him in his travels. He was born into a low-class family, though no one seems to know who his father truly was. He has yet to discover what truly happened to his mother, although rumors say that she burned alive in their home trying to save him during a bandit raid. He was said to spend a few months living in the streets, unknowingly utilizing his abilities to distract individuals while stealing what he could to live and survive. His old master was the last man who ever had this attempted on him, and seeing through the illusions, took the young Kelevra to the Order, raising him to hone his arts and use them for the common good.
He does not know what his true name was, only that his master gave him the name he now uses, the only true name he knows, or has ever cared to know. Over the years, since leaving the Order at 25, he has continued searching for the answers to his past, and has honed his Illusion arts to control over the Plane of Shadows, something he continues to work on daily. He one day hopes to be the most powerful Illusionist to ever live.

Sorry for the double post, but here's a list of all the Illusion spells to be expected from Kelevra, and a brief description of each.

Disguise Self - Kelevra may make himself, as well as clothing, equipment, etc. appear different, though only by dedicating a large degree of concentration to it.

Project Image - Kelevra creates a quasi-real illusory image of himself, which looks, sounds, and even smells like him. The only true difference is the fact that it is intangible. The projected image mimics his actions (including speech), unless he directs it to act differently. He may see with its eyes and hear with its ears, but doing so will leave his own body blind/deaf.

Zone of Silence - By casting zone of silence, Kelevra may manipulate sound waves in his immediate vicinity so that he and those within the spell’s area can converse normally, yet no one outside can hear their voices or any other noises from within, including language-dependent or sonic spell effects. This effect is centered on Kelevra and moves with him. Anyone who enters the zone immediately becomes subject to its effects, but those who leave are no longer affected. Note, however, that an individual trained to read lips can still reveal what’s said inside a zone of silence.

Nightmarish Vision - Kelevra creates a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the affected creatures see the phantasmal creatures attacking them, though Kelevra sees the attackers as shadowy shapes. This being his most powerful Illusion, it takes more concentration than any other spell, and greatly fatigues him upon completion, or if held for too long.

EDIT: He also has a black and brown cat he keeps as a companion, named Yukianesa. She is nothing more than just a pet, and one of the only living creatures he truly considers to be trustworthy. Yuki, as he calls her, has been his travelling companion since he left the Order, and he has been known to go out of his way to protect the cat, even at great risk to his own life.
