"So incredibly powerful, yet so inexplicably lonely!"
The Lonely Wizard was a lonely practitioner of the magical arts who wandered the DCU campus in a multi-colourled bathrobe of incredible lonesome power in Session 2 2011. His powers were mysterious, mostly because no-one ever actually saw them practiced, but he assured us at every oppurtunity that they were "incredible". The Lonely Wizard remained completely lonely in a massive crowd of some of the friendliest people on earth until at least the second Disco, when he met 'Gemma of the bespectified people' and became The Not-so-lonely-anymore wizard. We can't be sure if this decrease in loneliness also led to a decrease in power, as his powers remained as mysterious as they'd always been.
The Lonely Wizard briefly took a lecturing position at an un-named university, as evidenced by his tie and tweed jacket. Even in this job he remained lonely, as all the other lecturers were in these sort of pre-existing cliques, and he didn't have anyone to talk to in the staffroom so he mostly just stayed in his office pretending to do work. He was worryed that he'd mentioned his office hours too often in class, but none of the students had come down, and he just really wanted someone to talk to for a while, but he didn't want to seem desperate or wierd around them...
To speak from a real world point of view, The Lonely Wizard was a title given to Oisín O'Driscoll by Hannah Beresford. It stemmed from Oisín's habit of standing forlornly in the background, wearing a multi-coloured bathrobe and thinking about sharks eating aeroplanes. In grand old CTYI tradition, this soon became a surreal running joke, which included several stories by Ben Murphy and comics by Pirate Deco, a feud with the evil ElfWolf Gavin and everyone who saw him with his girlfriend saying "You're not so lonely anymore!".
