The Wizard

"'I can and will get you home, Dorothy. That much I can promise you. But first... we have a war to fight.' - The Wizard to Dorothy."The Wizard, also known as Oscar and Professor Marvel, is a legendary Wizard, mage, and miracle man in Oz and is the head of the Order of Oz.

Biography
Not much is known about the Wizard. Some say he was born from two very old but very powerful magical beings and that he knew all his magical knowledge the day he was born. But this is merely a guess and nobody really knows where he came from.

The Wizard became the leader of the Order of Oz, an order of magical beings who tried to keep order in the land of Oz. Among the order members were the two evil Witches and Glinda (who later left after discovering that he planned to go to war with the Witches). The Wizard resided in Emerald City, slowly biting his time until the war would eventually start.

When Dorothy arrived to seek his help, he promised to get her home either before or after the war. This wouldn't come to pass and Dorothy was forced to fight in the war alongside him. After that, he was able to send Dorothy home.

Personality
The Wizard is a very mysterious man. Not much is known of him or how he acts though he was kind to Dorothy so it could be suggested that he isn't bad.

Appearance
The Wizard resembles an old man with long flowing white hair and a bushy grey beard. He dresses in regal robes and can change his appearance. The beings he changes into are a beautiful woman, a dragon, a floating head, and a bizarre flaming creature.
