Madeline Calondu

Madeline "Maddie" Calondu was a human wizard and professor at the University of Gwynmynnyd. Her field of study was the Void, which fascinated her. Eventually she realized that the nature of the Void was changing, and that it was developing a strange, rudimentary intelligence. Shortly after this she was drummed out of the school for ethics violations stemming from unauthorized experimentation.

Her travels (and her flying skiff) took her far to the northeast, where she attended a party held by the Circle of Friends. During the events of the party the Void, while attempting to contact Frey, possessed her and caused her to become a living conduit to the Void. She, many of the other guests, and Invictus Manor fell into a Void rift and were thought lost.

Maddie later resurfaced in the Venerable Establishment, which she'd hijacked in an effort to persuade Dekra and Migueston to kill Eris. During this time she expressed disappointment that the Void had lost its "purity." She then appeared on the Plane of Shadows, laughing maniacally as she led a charge against the Eris-affiliated Void entities. She was briefly banished to a pocket dimension by Frey.

Appearance
Maddie wore a blue and black lamé robe and had a shaved head tattooed with magical glyphs, typical of a member of the Consurgwylt (Gwynmynnyd's elemental wizard caste). After her transformation into a Void conduit, her robe was in tatters and she wore a red stone mask in the shape of a skull. This mask hid her face, which had been reduced to a gaping hole in the fabric of reality.
