Salistone "Stonie" Andronus, the Tomb-Raiding Wizard - Steal this Character

What do Indiana Jones, Tintin, and a wizard all have in common? Saliston “Stonie” Andronus.  That’s what. Salistone “Stonie” Andronus is not your typical wizard.  In fact, if it weren’t for his trusty wand, you wouldn’t know that he was a spellcaster at all.  Perhaps it’s his leather armor, his short sword, or his unavoidable [Read more...]
