Ossani the Healer - stories so far

In recent years I have created a number of recurring characters in my dark fantasy/swords and sorcery tales, almost all of which are set in the cities around the Azure Sea. Just to add to the complications, though, most of these characters interact with each other in various tales, either as major or minor participants. 

One such character is my secretive sorcerer, Ossani, who prefers to masquerade as being nothing more than an apothecary and healer. Indeed, his preferred name is Ossani the Healer. 

He first appeared as a minor character at the end of "The Storyteller of Koss", whose main character is Nadrain the Storteller. (Summer of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Volume 1)

He next appeared, alongside Welgar the Northerner, in "Ossani the Healer and the Beautiful Homunculus".  (Welgar the Cursed)

After this he appears as a minor if influential character in "The Troupe".

The events in this story ultimately leads to his decision to leave his home city of Assabarr and head for the safe haven of Oriaska, hotly pursued by the Priestly Inquisition. The events involving this are detailed in my story "Ossani's Escape" which is scheduled to be published shortly in a magazine. 

Again, he appears in a minor role in "Ezmiyel the Beggar", which is yet to be published.

And again he is a minor character in "The Sorcerer's Casket", this time interacting with another recurring character of mine, Horbeck. 

The story "Emerging from Their Twilit Realms" has Ossani sharing space with Welgar again. (Welgar the Cursed).

Set a short while later, Ossani is yet again involved with Welgar in "From the Ashes", which is yet to be published.

Ossani is the main character in "The Moneylender of Oriaska" (Swords & Heroes Quarterly #2) in which we are introduced to his future apprentice, Arrenya, though she is not yet named. 

As you would expect from the title, "Ossani's Apprentice", Arrenya is the main character in the next tale, though Ossani does play a prominent role in its denouement. (Swords & Heroes Quarterly #2).  

"Masks of Deception", another unpublished story, sees Ossani as the main protagonist.  

The final tale, the twelth so far, is "The Narcolopsia", another as yet to be published tale. Here Ossani is once more reunited with Welgar and is possibly in his most perilous position yet.
