Professor Dufduf

Dufduf is the head professor at Thoth University. He is thought to be a high level conjuration wizard. Some question his motives; others assume his Dumbledore-like beneficence. He often seems to hide facts the party is hunting for -- the Fang of Seth, for instance. He is possibly onto the real reason for the water shortage, also seeking a peaceful resolution to said problem....

He is trying to head the party off at the Library of Faiyum, since he believes that a misreading of history will lead to mass carnage on the scale of the Water War. But what's the other solution? Creation of new arcane spells enabling water creation.
