The mysterious Wizard is the reigning figure of Oz and is eventually revealed to be Elphaba's parent.  In the biggest deviation this project has from the musical, the Wizard knows she is Elphaba's biological mother right from the start rather than realizing it only at the end.  She was prepared to keep him, but after he was born and the baby was green, she left him on the doorstep of his father to raise him with his wife, the Governor.  Despite giving him up, she harbors a sense of pride for the man he has become and is truly happy to finally meet him when he comes to see her in the Emerald City, though she does not tell him that she is his mother.  Together with Mr. Morrible, she tries to get Elphaba to use his power to keep the Animals in Oz from speaking out or even being able to talk at all.  She has a good heart, but it is ultimately warped with a twisted sense of ideals.  The Wizard is truly devastated when she learns of Elphaba's demise and the fact that she helped lead him to it and readily agrees with Glinda's punishment that she leave Oz forever.
