Samuel Truestone is a former Octienne of The Templar Order, previously in hiding from his former faction due to be pursued by Tredigar Hackshield, his former research partner (with Vistrum Blackstone). However, after a reconciliation with Tredigar, Samuel was selected by his old friend to succeed him as Prefect of Magic for the Templar Order.
Time with the Templars
A skilled mage and academic, Samuel worked with Tredigar and Vistrum to research the idea of a Well of Souls, a portal between the Material Plane and The Fade. After Vistrum took the research too far, Tredigar disavowed both his former friends, and sent Templars to root them out and bring them to justice. Among these was Thoradin Clearsight, sent after to Vistrum's last known location of the Village of Gorhart.
Time in the Underdark
Samuel eventually found himself in - and eventually beneath - the mining town of Glendara. In his time there, he was captured by the Duregar, who compelled him to create zombies and other violations against nature under his moniker "The Stitcher". He was eventually rescued by The Orb Walkers.
Time with The Orb Walkers
Samuel was sent to Tala Rane, where Breya Cuttlescar was able to keep him safe from Tredigar for a time. Eventually the party met with him again, and his home became The Belly of the Beast, which he looked after while the party is away.
Eventually, Tredigar revealed to Thoradin that he was aware of Samuel's presence in the city, and asked that a meeting be arranged, affirming that he had no desire to harm Samuel. Although initially skeptical, Samuel eventually agreed to see Tredigar, who in turn offered Samuel the position of Prefect of Magic should Tredigar win the upcoming election for Prefect Maximus. As it turned out, the fallout of the terrorist attack perpetrated by Ghurrix removed the need - and indeed the possibility - for an election, leaving Tredigar as the presumed next Prefect Maximus, and therefore Samuel as Prefect of Magic - although both have yet to be officially confirmed into those positions.
