Instructor Galford Guide
Instructor Galford in Stratholme - Main Gate: a journal-derived encounter reference quoted from the Adventure Guide, not a strategy guide. Database holds the raw abilities and the full loot table.
Background
Adventure Guide says
Galford once took great pride in caring for the Crusade's most valued documents. However, as he lay dying, he watched in horror as his precious tomes were burnt around him. Balnazzar used this painful memory to imbue his servant with the fiery power that ravaged Galford in life.
