Spells
Grimoire: Caesar's grimoire looks at first glance to be a book of (bad) song and poetry. It is stored with the books of his Acting Kit. Before transcribing a spell into it, he first renders it into some sort of verse. The tone and rhythm of the spells are the essential pieces that Caesar records in this grimoire, and when studying his spells, Caesar will almost always be humming, or even singing. He also carries a notebook in which notes about all sorts of things, including magical musings are recorded, but while it contains much magical musings, it is not his grimoire.
Caesar also carries around a fake grimoire. It is impressive looking and bound in snake skin, but it contains nonsense written in some half dozen obscure languages. Sections of it have been made to look as if they are under a powerful and long lasting encrypt spell, but are impossible to decrypt simply because they actually are gibberish.

Caesar's Backstory and personal "Way of the Illusionist"
Caesar is Cocky, and Curious, but Friendly and Easy-going.
Caesar is from Travar. His mother is an opera star of considerable fame in Travar. His father is a theater Illusionist (creates visual and audio effects for the productions). He has a number of brothers and sisters. In addition to the training he received from his father, Caesar attended the Stonebridge Academy, Travar's premier academy of magic, with faculty from all spellcasting disciplines, and headed by a former Champion of the Games.
Caesar has an appreciation for the arts and delights in plays and song. He studied as an actor and appeared in several children's productions, as well as child silent parts at the Opera house. His and his parents background in theater has shaped his view of Illusion. He knows that not only magic lies behind Illusion, but the huge role that illusion plays in reality. He understands how thin even the most impressive facade might be. He feels that an Illusionist should strive to free peoples minds from deception.
At the beginning of his career, Caesar does not consider himself a full-time professional Adventurer. He came to Throal to check out it's theater scene (he is unimpressed), and picks up the occasional adventuring job when he runs short of cash and can't find anything theater related. He plans that he will eventually go into one of the typical Illusionist careers in the arts or professions (for example he has a good friend who runs a flying carpet rental in Travar).
In the meantime, there is one aspect of adventuring that Caesar is particularly interested in. During the long centuries of the Scourge, each individual kear was cut off from all others, developed their own cultures in isolation. Books, and poetry, plays and songs written in one kear and known to no other. Caesar is interested in traveling to other places and obtaining copies of works of art (particularly copies of plays and songs) and bringing them to Travar. He is one of the founding members of the Cultural Preservation Institute of Travar. If he ever does any kear delving, he would focus upon private libraries and manuscripts.
Caesar reveres all the non-mad passions, and celebrates their various holy days with enthusiasm and devotion. At various times in his youth he has given thought to dedicating himself to several. Lately his heart has mostly gone out to Astendar, but has so far been unable place any one Passions ideals above all the others.
Cash accounting: 50 sp Hide armor, 15 sp footmans shield. 20 sp for a notebook and a fake grimoire = 85 sp. 15 sp remaining.
