I have a Breton Mage, who is Telvani Archmagister and Archmage of the mage guild. Only he is retired, (finished the main quest) I'm now playing with an Red Guard Knight, its at lvl 6 now. But i think Dark Elves are the best characters in the game cause they are very versatile. That's also my final character a Dark elf Battle Mage of lvl 35.
