Founder
The Order of Hermes was founded by thirteen wizards who became know as the Founders:
- Bjornaer
- Bonisagus
- Criamon
- Diedne
- Guernicus
- Flambeau
- Jerbiton
- Mercere
- Merinita
- Tremere
- Trianoma
- Tytalus
- Verditius
Each of these, excepting Trianoma, also founded a House that continues his magical heritage. Each of them made some contribution to helping Bonsisagus invent Hermetic Magic.
Pralix later also became a Founder when she established House Ex Miscellanea. Diedne, in turn, is not counted among the Founders by most magi since the Schism War.
