Appearance: Raistlin seems frail, but one is never really certain whether this frailty is real or feigned to lull his enemies into a false sense of security. He speaks in a whispering voice, having discovered that this gets people's attention.

Personality: Raistlin gives new meaning to the phrase "Evil Mage". Raistlin values Caramon's love, but dislikes his over protectiveness. Because Raistlin was born sickly and lacked his brother's might, he learned to use his mind to compensate. Raistlin is cynical and not overly fond of people; he prefers his own company. He also has a strong sense of justice and sympathy for the downtrodden.
Raistlin has deep feelings for only one person on this world and that is his twin brother, Caramon. Any feelings of affection for Caramon are all tangled up with hatred and jealousy, but real love for his twin lives beneath. Raistlin is cunning enough and strong enough, however, to use his feelings and those of others to his advantage by manipulating his twin.
He has a very powerful charisma. Thus Dalamar stays with him, even at the peril of his own life. Crysania is drawn to him, though she can't explain why. He can be very charming, when it suits his purpose.
Raistlin has one consuming ambition--he wants to become a god. He will use any means to gain this goal; he will let nothing and no one stand in his way. He also will not, under any circumstances, return to the Red Robes, much less the White. Raistlin is truly evil. He chose to be evil, and it is only because of his final sacrifice that he may be rewarded by the salvation of peace in death.

Unique Abilities/Items:

  • Death Vision: Raistlin, from his experience of the Test at the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayrenth, has gained the unique vision that allows him to see the life span of the individual he is looking at speed through to their final end. This is constant and hew cannot control it, thus every person he views appears to wither and die before his eyes. This in no way allows him to divine the cause of their death, as he only sees how they would grow old and die. But this ability would also make it apparent that the being in front of him was an Immortal, if they were such, as Immortals do not die of old age!
