Friedrich von Tarnus was the first Magister Patriarch of the
Bright Order. Excelling beyond all of Teclis' many proteges save Volans,
Freidrich was there when the Colleges of Magic were formed. Before ascending to
his position, the hot-headed wizard served as commander of the Carroburg
Greatswords, but was cast out in shame when his magical talent came to light.
Since then, he began crafting magical items of great power,
including the Silver Seal of the Emperor. Indeed, it was he who crafted the
Staff of the Patriarchs for Volans, which would become the symbol of office for
all Supreme Patriarchs thereafter.
Canon Conflict
In older editions, Friedrich von Tarnus was spelled Fredrick
von Tarnus. Or Frederick. In 8th Edition, it's spelled Fredrik. It's also
unclear whether his leaving the Carroburg Greatswords was self-imposed after
his powers manifested (unable to cope with the shame), or if the regiment cast
him out.
