NOTE TO THE DEVELOPERS AND THE COMMUNITY:all the ideas that you will read from now on are exclusively inspired and based from the April Fools Archivist from Diablo 3, one from Carbot, my older Hero Concept and from the Community. I also Invite Blizzard to try to find all the little twinkle of an eye that I putted in this concept. Enjoy!
[A] ferocious loremaster and librarian, Having unlimited knowledge of books, and all the secrets withing them, Constantly seeking to prove once and for all that the Pen is mightier than the sword. Hailing from the Darkened Studies of Westmarch, this frail man is a force to be reckoned with.

I think that this Hero Concept shows us a way to see a playable Elder in HOTS. I'm sure that it gives him a fresh new look for a passive Grandpa XD!
