Professor Thaddeus Gearwing 

🦉 Professor Thaddeus Gearwing — The Clockwork Owl

🦉 Professor Thaddeus Gearwing

Archivist of the Aetherbound Court

Species: Owl 

Faction: The Lore keepers

Magical Affinity: Chronomancy (time manipulation)

 Professor Thaddeus Gearwing is the Court’s greatest mind and most eccentric scholar. Perched among towering shelves of brass-bound books and clockwork globes,

His feathers are always dusted with ink, his brass goggles forever slipping down his beak as he mutters equations about time, flight, and fate. Gifted in the art of Chronomancy, Gearwing can briefly slow or rewind moments, allowing him to glimpse futures—or study past mistakes. But his talent comes at a cost: meddling with time leaves fractures that only he can sense. When he’s not deciphering prophecies or repairing arcane devices, he tutors the young of Aetherbound in the mechanics of magic, believing that every cog in the great machine of destiny has its place. Some whisper that without him, the Court would lose not just its knowledge, but its very foundation.
