Versatilys Sellano (1310-1387), human mage, politician, Sylvatia native, and founding initiator of SMA.
Born into a noble family, Versatilys Sellano received a fine education from childhood, displaying a strong interest in magic and astonishing talent.
In his youth, Versatilys Sellano resolved to make the study of magic his life's work. However, his father's sudden death forced him to temporarily abandon his ideals and turn to politics instead. Naïve and inexperienced, he grew through countless setbacks, and by the age of thirty-two, Versatilys Sellano had become an accomplished yet corrupt politician.
Even so, he still couldn't give up his love for magic. After decades in the political world, Versatilys Sellano resolutely decided to abandon everything he had achieved in the first half of his life, gathered friends to establish a magic research association, which was the predecessor of SMA.
Even after Versatilys's death, SMA continues to grow, and has become an important magical organization on par with M.A.R.. That old man who loved magic would surely be overjoyed if he could see this.
All I can offer is nothing but blood, toil, sweat, and tears.
