Kulgan is a lesser path magician known for his part as advisor to Duke Borric during the Riftwar and tutor of the conDoin sires Arutha conDoin, Lyam conDoin and the magician Pug.
Kulgan lived with his pet Fantus and franklin Meecham in a stone cottage located in a clearing in a forest outside Crydee Castle. He had friendship with Althafain of Carse and with a magical orb he gave him, Kulgan discovered young Pug during a storm.
He also played a large part of the set up of the magician community upon the island of Stardock.
Riftwar
Kulgan picked Pug for apprentice at his day of Choosing and started to train him as a magician in his tower in the Castle, however something stopped him from assessing his full potential.
Kulgan was handed Fanatha's letter found in the shipwreck by Pug, but during his attempt to translate it, he activated a spell which opened a temporary rift in his tower. The hands of Fanatha's colleagues in the Assembly attempted to pull him while unconscious but Pug threw a spear into that void, and they closed the rift.
Kulgan aided Duke Borric on his travels to warn nobles of the coming Tsurani invasion, and aided him at his camp in Yabon. Whilst battling Tsurani at the rift, Kulgan was knocked from his horse. He was attacked by a black robe, but saved by Pug whilst the 2 magicians fought. However, this led to the capture of Pug as a slave.
He remained in Duke Borric's camp for the rest of the Riftwar, up to his death. When Borric died of a head wound, he continued to aid Lyam. When it was revealed Pug was granted the property of Stardock (Later turned to a Duchy by Lyam). It was intended to be turned into a safe haven and academy for magicians.
Stardock
Kulgan travelled to Stardock with Pug, Meecham, Katala, Fantus and William conDoin. They soon built a community in Stardock, and constructed a great building, resemblant to that of the City of Magicians in Kelewan. The commmunity grew, and Kulgan oversaw it's needs with Katala, as Pug was the protector of Midkemia.
Kulgan found company in Hochopepa, a Black robe from the assembly who was much like him. He came to live at Stardock with another Black Robe, Elgahar. Kulgan was fascinated with the collection of magical books Macros the Black gave to Pug.
He was present later during the events of Prince of the Blood, and presumably died between the time of Erland II and Borric II visited Stardock and when Nakor went to teach at Stardock.
Appearance
Kulgan sported a beard and an ever-present pipe. He was thought to be overweight, but with cat-like reflexes that definitely did not suit his looks, but often gave him an edge when fighting an enemy.
