The story of the sect master goes back several decades.
He was the up-and-coming genius, the heir of a renowned noble family from the Athea Kingdom. He was the prodigy who became a disciple of a famous mage who had participated in the Battle of Parting.
He was on track to becoming one of the most powerful mages of his time.
Then he met a young lady, and everything changed for him.
At first, he was happy, for the beauty he met was one to die for. They envied him—his peers envied his talent and his love interest.
But while he held his shoulders high for a while, all of that came crashing down when his wife chose to follow a long ear she met on the ancient battlefield of Parting.
That was when he became furious, and in his attempt to get his woman back, he fell into despair. He wasn't able to defeat the elf that stole his woman, so he turned to evil.
