There is no wizard as devoted to the magic as Dalamar.
Intro

Discussion
Dalamar’s life is one of influence. He was at the key position to influence history at every point of his life. Not only did he rise to the head of the conclave of the Orders of High Sorcery, but he would interact with both gods and men to shape Krynn through military and political maneuvering. His ambition may have been greater than his capacity to achieve, but his devotion to balance and the magic is unparalleled by any other wizard.
Dalamar was born Dalamar Argent to House Servitor in Silvanost. The Silvanesti elves live in a caste system, so each house has social and political barriers. Because of this Dalamar would only have been able to advance as a mage up to a students capacity, but Dalamar wanted more. He would find spell books and study them in secret until he was discovered. With his attention to his daily duties failing, Dalamar was sent to House Cleric and there he was afforded the opportunity to continue studying magic. When the Dragonarmy attacked Silvanesti, Dalamar proposed a counterattack which brought him little prestige, and while the plan was good, it ultimately failed and Dalamar migrated to Southern Ergoth with his countrymen.
While there he met the Kagonesti elf K'gathala and had an affair with her as she taught him their magic. Dalamar took the name Dalamar Nightson and stayed in Silvamori for years. When Raistlin Majere ended Loracs Nightmare, Dalamar made note of the wizards name and accomplishments, and would rise to the opportunity years later to study under him. Dalamar pledged himself to Nuitari, something Silvanesti elves are forbidden from doing, and was caught by Wildrunners and ultimately exiled by Porthios and Alhana Starbreeze. Dalamar was cast from the light, and became known as Dalamar the Dark. Dalamar would return the favor to Alhana and Porthios in years to come. For now, Dalamar needed to find the Tower of High Sorcery and take his test.
It would take much searching of ancient ruins before the Forest of Wayreth called to Dalamar, and in his test he was presented with the opportunity of stopping Lorac from taking the Dragon Orb from the Tower of High Sorcery in Istar. Dalamar refused to save Silvanesti, and chose devotion to the magic instead. He was accepted into the Order of the Black Robes and sent by Ladonna to kill the renegade that murdered Dalamar’s benefactor in Silvanesti. After succeeding, he was offered the chance to study under Raistlin Majere, in order to spy on the renegade wizard. Dalamar knew that this was incredibly dangerous, but he would learn more for Raistlin than any other wizard, and accepted. It would cost him as his Shalafi would burn five wounds into his chest for the deceit, and unknown to Dalamar, he was playing into Rastlin and later, Lord Soth’s schemes.
Dalamar would nearly be killed by Kitiara in the Blue Lady’s War, his one time lover, and after the war, he became the head of the Order of the Black Robes, and when the conclave assaulted Storm’s Keep in an attempt to stop the Knights of Takhisis, Dalamar was nearly killed again, as was the head of the Conclave. This allowed Dalamar to rise to the highest position any Wizard is able to, and became the point man for every major political move that would follow. Traitors to Silvanesti and Qualinesti provided Dalamar with the opportunity to help exile Porthios and Alhana from the elven kingdoms and the moment of revenge was too sweet to pass up. He also received a month in Silvanesti as payment...
