Magister Argentum Alarich von Silberhain
What players would know
Alarich von Silberhain, of House von Silberhain, is Banco Valdieri’s ward‑magister—formally styled Magister Argentum—responsible for vault bindings, ward maintenance, and the kind of quiet work that keeps confidence from becoming panic. Bank staff call him “The Abacus” (never to his face).
He presents as meticulous and coldly professional, the sort of man who treats magic like accounting: every ward a ledger entry, every breach a personal insult.
