Gold Wizard is an 
Empire Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Update 5.0 as FLC.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Wizard's Conclave, Altdorf Conclave of Battle Wizards, Occupied Library of Hoeth, Tower of Prophecy or Temple of Elemental Winds
Description[]
The soaring eagle is symbol of the golden Wind of Chamon, and is considered by outsiders as a representation of the Gold Wizard’s assumed superiority over their fellow men. In truth, Gold Wizards are aloof in the extreme and the powers they wield on the battlefield do little to dispel such beliefs. It is speculated that they indulge in intellectual vanity to compensate for their often-marred physiques, as constant tinkering with acids and molten metals has left some students of Chamon scarred, burned or mutilated, leaving only their minds with any claim to perfection. Those who successfully unlock Chamon’s secrets, however, do so with frightening results, learning the ways of transmutation to warp armour and weapons to ensure victory for their sides.

Strategy[]
This is your typical spellcaster hero (and pretty much a worse-Gelt) that later gains access to a mount with amazing mobility. Weak against pretty much everything in combat, keep this Hero behind the lines to cast the spells. Once accquiring the Imperial Pegasus, use it to cast spells wherever it's needed or to disrupt enemy's missile units/artillery or to fight against mid-tier infantry units,
