Professor Phillip Aquilas, Senior Administrator
To the mundane world, Professor Aquilas (or, sometimes, simply "The Professor") is merely the single most-senior tenured teacher on the SU campus. He teaches a few small classes here and there (by invitation only), handles a few pieces of administrative work (primarily in admissions and financial aid), runs freshman orientation week, and sits around in the library coffee house regaling students with tales of the good old days. A number of other professors are jealous of his seemingly cushy job; they might not be quite so eager to take his place if they knew that he was also in charge of making sure that, say, none of the school's supernatural students manage to accidentally call up demons and kill them all. Or maybe all it'd take is for them to notice his daily 6AM jog.
As a wizard, Aquilas' specialization is water evocation (though it annoys him when people assume that just based on his name) and thaumaturgy - though, to be honest, more the latter than the former. It's relatively common knowledge that his magical talents do not lend themselves to combat; less commonly known is that he spent thirty years serving as a navy seal, and is quite capable of handling himself in a fight, magic or no. (At the very least Warden Filstin seems unaware of this; apparently if you're not a verifiable battle-mage you're just another glorified pencil-pusher.)
