An old sorcerer of a forgotten time, Weylin appears as an old elven male in dark red robes. On his head he has a peculiar crown that is known to exchange some form of energy into raw power for its wearer. Weylin's ultimate motive was to recreate a new world free of pain and suffering at the cost of everyone. In his toddler years and perfected over his adult life, he had powers to control time and space in some limited way and is capable of floating, teleporting vast distances and appearing through apparitions for communication.
Disciples
Weylin is introduced through a disciple of which he has four in total, namely: Gustav, Jago, Peshka and Alenriel. It is believed Weylin has gathered the disciples from different points of time in the world though it is not clear from which areas they originate from. Nonetheless, his disciples seem to have various goals, whether it be to guide or defend some refugees. In some cases, namely for Peshka, it is to capture high profile targets.
History
Early life
Little is known from this period of Weylin's life, though through magical means it is revealed strange magical gems played a part early in his life.
Five Wise
Weylin was part of the Five Wise - who are responsible for the 100-Year War - where he hoped to find a way to continue his travel through time after briefly stranding before the great war but at the end of it, Weylin was captured. Scarlet Academy's founder, Garr Hylthe, revealed that Weylin had escaped his imprisonment in a Saffron Stone by some miraculous method and was not seen again since. It is thought Weylin had perished, his reappearance hundreds of years later seemed surprising and to some (such as Scarlet Academy founders and Fold members alike) even unbelievable.
Promised Land
A member of the Wardens had revealed to Aragir, member of Four Feathers, that Weylin was responsible to gather willing refugees and provide them safe passage to an area known as the 'Promised Land'. Speaking to several refugees about the endeavour, the specifics seem vague to them but they remain hopeful. Weylin had captured the attention of a specific subset of the Dwarven people who, for whatever reason, feel wronged and seek a better life free of the oppressing government.
Alenriel had used the same words as what Weylin had promised to give back to him.
Myrneas
Seeking sources of power, Weylin had become aware of a dormant city deep beneath Brassdorf. Leading Dwarven refugees through underground hallways, it allowed Gustav to examine and open a pathway down to those ruins. Here, a large charged piece of Arcanum was uncovered to which Weylin was drawn. The Four Feathers would observe him drain the crystal of its powers before making an exit towards the White Mountains.
Personality & Abilities
Weylin borrows many of his powers from the crown on his head, which allows him the capability in creating illusions and temporarily move himself and anyone with a distance to a pocket dimension. In addition, Weylin possessed Criir's Blade which he can use to fabricate materials and deliver devistating strikes. His unique chronomatic abilities allows him to pull versions of himself and his enemies from adjecant timelines to manipulate the situation to his advantage. In his final battle, he is seen pulling versions of himself to aid him and has shown versions of the Four Feathers to confuse them.
He speaks slowly, delicately but the voice itself appears to be malformed. By refugees, guided by the Wardens towards Weylin, he is spoken of highly and - according to Gamal - a savior of the Dwarven kind. Weylin is thought to deliver the Promised Land. The crown which Weylin wears upon his head was stolen from an order of mindflayers, it is one of the nine vestiges that were scattered in the world. This crown siphons his life force, aging him rapidly in the process, and in return grants significant power. Alenriel was responsible to feed Weylin more life force to keep that feedback loop going.
Death
In a last attempt to absorb souls of countless individuals, Weylin was ultimately thrown into conflict with the Four Feathers from whom he'd eventually lose the fight with. The weakened Weylin succumbed to the ever-siphoning Deceiver's Crown and briefly possessed by a fraction of Ozma's soul. The Four Feathers would deliver the final blow and destroy the body of Weylin.

| Session 17 | Returning from the surface with Vaeri, Weylin is nearly caught while attempting to syphon energy left from a Volentis Crystal. |
| Session 29 | Detecting deeper thoughts of Alenriel, Aragir sees a younger Weylin approach and persuade the disciples in his plans. |

| Session 37 | Seen in the Scarlet Vault, though only his torso was seen as it was held magically affixed to the wall. |
Trivia
- During a mindreading spell from Aragir, it is revealed that Weylin's crown was given to him by mind flayer creatures. The creatures were similar to the wounded one from Whispertale and again in Abador.
