Well the progenitor, if you will, of the Santa Claus mythos is St Nicholas (Sinterklaas in Dutch). He may as well have been a Lumen Sage, or at least aligned with the light. According to the weapon and accessories stories, there were witches all around the world, not necessarily part of the Umbra clan. The same could be said for sages.

That being said, St Nicholas may have travelled to Vigrid to study with the Lumen, as Turkey (his birthplace) is relatively close, or perhaps not and he just trained with another clan/teacher.

Also, he might have had black slaves. Or some sort of familiars, which might not make much sense at first considering he's most likely to be a sage.

Ideally, more research beyond Wikipedia and other online sources would be done...
