History
Avelos founded his shop in the Spiral Ward at some point in his past. Something happened between Renbedar and Avelos that placed the tortle deeply in the wizard's debt, but it is unsure exactly what transpired.
The Peas worked with Avelos a good number of times, both buying and selling objects of power with the enchanter. Journey once sold him her Ring of Birdsight, which he re-enchanted into a Ring of Birdflight, allowing the user to fly for a short period. In order to disguise Seamus during the party's journey through Sanaris, Avelos provided the party with the Polymorph Amulet (Princess Turica), alongside a warning about its properties.
Avelos was also instrumental in removing the curses placed on the enchanted items the party received in Peralas, and even upgraded some of the items for an additional fee.
Avelos assisted in the attack against Zahast the Vilespawn, setting up one of the beacons alongside Vetraxu and her devils near the Lake of Hands. Avelos successfully completed his mission, and began the long march back to civilization shortly after Zahast's defeat. During the Battle for the Sun, Avelos volunteered his arcane services to the armies, and stayed back in the battle to maintain the protective wards in order to resist the influence of the Unknown.
Avelos eventually returned to his shop in Madrioc, continuing to sell his wares and occasionally working with the famed inventor, Vinn Vinnfeck.
