A high priest of the ancient Cult of Mercury circa the second century BC. When first introduced in the History of the Order section (page 29) of the Second Edition sourcebook, Order of Hermes, he was noted for codifying various rituals of the cult into 38 spells that each had to be individually learned and mastered. In that history, the cult already could, and in fact had to, cast all its rituals in groups.
In Fifth Edition, Plentarch still plays a pivotal role in the development of magic before the establishment of the Order of Hermes. In current canon, though he did gather together 38 other priests each with his own spell, he also taught them the predecessor of Wizard's Communion. See Houses of Hermes: Societates, page 16, Ancient Mercurians insert.
