Name: Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander aka "The First Wizard" aka "The Wind of Death"
World: The New World aka "Sword of Truth"
Spells: Unknown.
Magical Items: Wizard's Rock.

Zeddicus was born to two gifted wizards of the Midlands, and was a prodigy of the arcane arts. He was soon accepted in the Wizard's Keep and because of his power was able to enter many areas of the keep that was warded by ancient wizards. He soon became a talented wizard and married Erilyn Zorander, the love of his life and soon had a daughter they named Tarryln.

He was eventually named First Wizard, and a few years later a war with D'haran occurred Zeddicus was one of the most powerful players, protecting the Midlands from D'haran's and their dark magics. Although they could not harm Zeddicus directly they came after his wife and daughter. Sadly his wife was a casualty of war, while his daughter was threatened time and time again. It wasn't until a woman named Abby that asked for help, did Zeddicus come up with a plan to save the New World from D'hara. Like the Great Boundary that separated the Old World and New World, Zeddicus erected a barrier in the Westlands and Midlands that kept D'hara at bay. In a parting shot he sent Wizard's Fire over the barrier, killing Paris Rahl and ending the war. He had managed to fool the world into believing his daughter was dead and exiled himself to obscurity.

Years later, his daughter was kidnapped once again and this time was used by Darken Rahl to sire a gifted son. This tragedy combined with his frustrations with his students and the Council of the Midlands, he left to the Westlands to live in secret and beyond the reach of anymore horrors. She raised her son Richard with George Cypher, a man who she fell in love with. Yet eventually fate would have it that Richard would become destined to be "The Seeker". Once more Zeddicus would be drawn into a conflict with D'hara as the "Seeker's" role come into play. He would assist his grandson in a quest to rid D'hara of it evil rulers and defeat the forces of the Keeper.
