Galder Weatherwax - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Galder Weatherwax is the Archchancellor of Unseen University during the events of 'The Light Fantastic.' He is a traditional wizard, deeply entrenched in the hierarchy and politics of the wizarding world, and is often portrayed as somewhat pompous and self-important. His role is significant as he represents the old guard of wizardry, often clashing with the more chaotic and unpredictable elements of magic that Rincewind and the Luggage bring into play.
Physical Appearance
Galder Weatherwax is depicted as an elderly wizard with a long, flowing white beard and bushy eyebrows that seem to have a life of their own. He wears the traditional garb of a wizard, including a pointy hat adorned with mystical symbols and a robe that seems to shimmer with arcane energy. His eyes are sharp and calculating, often peering over the top of his half-moon spectacles. Despite his age, he carries himself with an air of authority and dignity, though his expression often betrays a hint of exasperation at the chaos around him.
