Umptyscope: Rupert Giles from Buffy?

Mister Six: I'd say so.

Lale: Isn't Gandalf more of a Mentor?

Malimar: How about Jolee Bindo from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic?

Wolviepris: Minor correction: isn't Kratos the ancient one, not Regal?

Arakhor: Jolee is definitely a Cool Old Guy :)

OtteryLexa: The old guy from the 1632: Ring of Fire series book set in Venice. Called something like Juan Cascador y Ortiz. Mike Stearns probably qualifies as well.

Noneofyourbusiness: How would killing off Rufus be Author Appeal ?

VAD: Because they take great delight in killing off the guest stars that the audience has taken a shine to?
