"I am not Tenser, I am his residual kinetic memory. I am a shade, an echo. I cannot grow or mature. I only persist."
—Tenser
The intelligence that is called Tenser is a recreation of a human conjurer and the first Loremaster of the Alexandrian Archives. After the death of the original Tenser, his magically sentient tower, Story Ancient, used its ability to create a magical simulacrum in his likeness. Using memories of Tenser's personality and abilities, Story Ancient enables this new being (also called Tenser) to continue to exist as the late conjurer once did.
He is currently a member of the Council of Nine
