Arakor Nicodemus

Arakor Nicodemus is a fictional wizard from the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. He was one of the three pupils (including Gereth Yaztromo and Pen Ty Kora) of Vermithrax Moonchaser, the Grand Wizard of Yore. He lives in the world of Titan, in the city of Port Blacksand (otherwise known as the "City of Thieves"), under a bridge known as the Singing Bridge that crossed the Catfish River. He was saved from a curse, that was laid upon him by necromancers, by his friend and fellow pupil Pen Ty Kora some years ago. Though he is an irritable recluse to the locals, he is known to help those who seek his wisdom at times.
