Wizard Traiborn is a peculiar wizard who resides on the 1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] of the Wizards' Tower. He often addresses people as "thingummywuts" and claims to see these indescribable creatures everywhere, claiming they cause minor havoc in the tower. Despite these seemingly mad theories and his goofy look, Traiborn is one of the Senior Wizards of the tower and possesses considerable magical skill. He is involved in the Recipe for Disaster, Demon Slayer, and Temple of the Eye quests.

Treasure Trails

Wizard Traiborn is the solution to the medium cipher clue: XJABSE USBJCPSO. The answer to his challenge: How many air runes would I need to cast 630 wind waves? is: 3150.
