Here is the information from the book about wizards:
There are entries on the current three leaders of the High Orders of Sorcery--Par-Salian of the White, Ladonna of the Black, and Justarius of the Red.
Other entries included Asanta of the White (who built the Tower of Istar), Salius Ruven of the Black (who once led an army of undead on Istar), Vincil da Jevra of the Red (an Ergothian who served as Highmage in Daltigoth and was said to have created over two hundred spells) and the famous Magius who wore all three colors at one time or another (noted for aiding Huma Dragonbane in the Third Dragon War).
Finally, he finds the entry on Fistandantilus of the Black, the Dark One. It was said he was a tall, slender man with a long, iron-grey pointed beard, thin bony hands, broad shoulders, and well-built body. He always wore his plain, midnight black robes in plain sight, and was the most powerful Black Robe of his time. He always radiated cold, and when he would stand in one place for too long would actually kill the grass and other plants in the immediate area.
At the height of his power in Istar, he knew every language, custom, and lore of all known races on Krynn. He thought it beneath him to own a staff or even to have a familiar. The archmage was able to travel anywhere on Krynn in the blink of an eye, and was used as a bogeyman by parents to scare their children. However unlike most bogeyman tales, his powers were all very much real.
Almost nothing is known of his birth, including where and when. When he was young, he discovered he had a talent for magic. He took his Test and joined the Order of the Red. However, as his ambitions grew (as well as an obsession with never dying), he later turned to the Order of the Black. He must have succeeded, because he is said to have lived for centuries after the fact. Eventually he became Master of the Palanthas Tower.
Surprisingly, he became a close adviser to the last Kingpriest, Beldinas Pilofiro. He used his powers to help the Kingpriest fight heretics and read the minds of his subjects. Shortly before the Cataclysm, he disappeared and was not seen again for another 40 years.
In the year 39 AC, he resurfaced and led an army of hill dwarves and plainsmen against Thorbardin, the kingdom of the dwarves. In a huge battle at Zhaman, there was a massive explosion that turned the keep into what is now called Skullcap. Fistandantilus has not been seen since then, and it is believed he was killed in the explosion.

Okay, if there are any questions Haahqae would ask him about the giant so he can relay that information to the others, let me know.

Tulbas has never been to the tower (on account of being an apprentice, he wouldn't be allowed) and so it's very unlikely he'd know anyone there, much less a Highmage. I can't think of any way he'd have of contacting the tower without the use of high level magic.

Is generally happy wandering and chilling out in the north, would like to find someone to tutor him in the arcane arts now that Raetmal is not so well, so he is keen to see him recover quickly, additionally assisting Tulbas in watching him could earn him a more solid route into being tutored.
Tulbas could tutor him, and Raetmal left a blank spellbook behind the counter for Gregeddin earlier, for free. So he could easily be taught some simple first level spells that way.

If you are referring to the old man's prophecy, four days. Well, if we skip a day forward, I suppose it would now be three.
