The Wizard's Christmas: Characters
 | ALERIK: As the apprentice to the great wizard Malerus, it falls upon Aleric to ensure that the preparations for Christmas are complete. Unfortunately, that means forcing the people to work day and night making presents for Malerus, which the old Wizard selfishly keeps for himself. Because of this, Aleric is almost as unpopular as his master. He longs for Christmas that he sees in the ancient statues and old paintings, and vows that one day he will succeed Malerus, restore Christmas and become the most beloved Wizard of all time! |
 | MALERUS: Every Christmas, Malerus forces everyone to act happy and give him presents. He can think of nothing else while the people are hungry and cold, and their aging city crumbles underneath the threadbare banners and riotous piles of Christmas decorations. But secretly in his heart, Malerus is driven by an ancient grief that he has harbored ever since a fateful Christmas Eve many years ago... |
 | PERIN: Her uncle Lucius is the powerful and benevolent Christmas Wizard, but Perin can’t shake the feeling that something is amiss in their idyllic holiday town. When she meets the strange young boy from the other side of the wall, she sees through his eyes what she’s been missing, but his presence sets in motion a series of events that puts the very future of Christmas in Jeopardy. Can she show them all the true meaning of Christmas before it’s too late? |
 | MARKIS: Perin’s scheming brother Markis is also Lucius’ apprentice. He is pompous and conceited, and dislikes Aleric immediately. But when Markis is introduced to the apprentice from the other side of the wall, he begins to form a plan... |
 | LUCIUS: Lucius is the stern and proud Christmas Wizard, but beneath his golden exterior his heart is selfish and twisted. |
