Azadi, the son of a spice farmer, and Salila, the daughter of a venture capitalist, are both currently in their 50’s. To buy his first ship N’dembe’s father needed investors, so he tried every which way to find the financial backing, but most businessmen were terrified at the risks involved. At wit’s end, he made a sacrifice to Erastil, the patron god of the Caldaru people and the god of family, farming, hunting, and trade. In a vision Erastil said that he would help the entrepreneur if he promised to give the god his first son when the god calls for him. Azadi accepted the terms of the contract and, soon after, met and married Salila Watamba, whose father believed in the dreams of the silver-tongued young man. N’dembe is their youngest child and only son. He was born on an Oathday, the 27th day of Pharast, 4707, in the city-state of Senghor. He is currently 16 years old. His three older sisters -- Tanama, Waya and Yana -- are all in their late 20’s and they help run the family business. Having no head for business himself, N’dembe pursues a life of scholarship and research in the field of magic. Old Mother Djambe was his tutor. She is his mysterious godmother, as well, an old obeah woman who came and went as she pleased throughout his life. It was she who had originally prophesied that the boy’s star would burn brightly but snuff out early. On N’dembe’s 16th birthday, she declared that she could not teach him anymore and that he must enroll as an apprentice wizard at Magaambya Academy immediately. Upon receiving the news, Azadi used his business contacts and arranged to have the boy registered for the upcoming school year. With a heavy heart Papa Azadi then accompanied his favorite child on a caravan trip to Natambu and personally delivered N’dembe to the prestigious institution. Before leaving N’dembe, Azadi -- crying and sobbing -- kissed his only son good-bye, wishing him much luck on this new stage of his life. Looking around his new home, N’dembe was nervous but thrilled. Taking a deep breath, he pulled out his well-thumbed copy of Magaambya Academy: A Brief History and proceeded to explore the vast campus and to make new friends. Appearance 16 yrs. old N’dembe is an average sized Calderu male. He stands at 5’10” and weighs about 160 lbs. He has an average build for a teenager, not athletic but lean and wiry. The beardless youth has a thick shock of coal-black hair on his head. His otherwise smooth, hairless skin is the color of mocha. His large, expressive, puppy dog eyes are brown, the color of dark chocolate. Personality N’dembe is an academic prodigy whose natural genius is in the study of the arcane arts. While he has an innate gift for it and has studied under the tutelage of the Ole Mother Djambe, he has devoted an extensive amount of time to reading scrolls and tomes on magic, too. He is a bibliophile and collects books. He is also multilingual as are most Calderus. He speaks, reads, and writes Common (Mwangi), Calda, Ekujae, Kibwani, Lirgeni, and Taldane. The young wizard is described by many as optimistic, innocent, child-like, curious, idealistic, impulsive, imaginative, inspired, and insightful. When he focuses his attention on a problem, he has difficulty in letting it go until he finds a solution. N’dembe is a social animal and enjoys the company of strangers since he loves learning new things. However, his best friend is the animal familiar known as Rafiki, who currently manifests itself in the material plane as a raven. Besides magic and books, N'dembe likes music, art, nature, animals, plants, conversation, friendship, learning, traveling, architecture, engineering, and machinery. His dislikes are prejudice, stubbornness, ignorance, bureaucracy, and conformity. Like the most of his people, N’dembe is Lawful Good and worships the god Erastil. His core beliefs are that knowledge is power, and that power should be used for the good for everybody.
