Ethric: Difference between revisions
The "livid" part from Sandro is obviously a figure of speech :) Plus, since he apparently has a mortal guise, his face could be livid. And "Ethric of Bracada" was never given as his official title adjusted/expanded the class and lore info. |

NOTE: Fans have debated whether Ethric of Bracada (Wizard/Warlock) and Ethric the Mad (Warlock/Lich) were the same person or not. This was settled by Jennifer Bullard, a member of the Might and Magic team, who stated in an interview that yes, they were.
It can be surmised that Ethric has had an alter-ego as a Bracadan wizard and warlock for a considerable time, the general public apparently being unaware that he is actually Ethric the Mad and not just his namesake. In a similiar fashion, Sandro is shown to be using an illusion to disguise him being a lich when dealing with people like Gem and Crag Hack. It is not made clear whether Jabarkas is actually related to Ethric, or if this is a cover story.
There are references to Ethric having multiple character classes.
- Wizard/Lich: Sandro's biography says that Ethric taught him Necromancy and was originally a Wizard, then later became a Lich.
- Wizard: Driving for the Boots: Gem mentions needing to write to Ethric in Bracada.
- Warlock: Poison Fit for a King: Sandro refers to Ethric as a Warlock.
- Warlock: Master: He appears as a Warlock.
- Lich: Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven, Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor, and Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era all depict Ethric as a necromancer lich.
