Warlock of the Free Council

Born: 12 November 1963; Perth, Australia

Age: 50

Rank: The Director declines to rank himself, but he is known to have knowledge of at least 6 Arcana

Titles/Memberships: Syndic of the Western Assembly, Hierarch of the Golden Quill Consillium

Various nicknames and aliases: Damocles

Physical description: A bearded man in his late forties and immaculate suits, typical of many upper management types, and while above average height he carries the extra weight of a white collar worker. His dark hair and beard show signs of greying, but his hazel eyes are still sharp – the expensive glasses he wears are purely for theatrics.

Nimbus: Symphonic - Bystanders gain a sense of all things (sounds, light, movements) falling into concert and following The Director's actions and tempo. Powerful magic also produces the sounds of a multitude of clacking sounds merging into unison and slowing to a stop, like roulette wheels or old fashioned clacker-boards used at stock markets or airports

Timeline

Awakened: 1987, in Perth

Initial Master: Adin (NPC), Warlock of the Guardians of the Veil

• 1987: Awakened in the Perth CBD and was discovered by a young mage known as Adin, who took him in as an apprentice. The apprenticeship was not the success that Adin had hoped it may be however - finding Adin weak and unwilling to address "healthy" conflict, the nascent Damocles tormented his so-called master and grew in power quickly.

• 1987: Finding an ally and mentor in Ravis of the Free Council, Damocles stood by Ravis and her band of agitators before the then Hierarch and demanded a stop to Mysterium and Free Council persecution by the Consilium and the Interfector. The "Key-Killer" lashed out at Ravis and a brutal conflict ensued, leading to the defeat of the mad Hierarch. In spite of the victory, Ravis and her supporters to split from the remaining members of the Consilium, founding the "northern" consilium of The Broken Wing.

• 2000: Damocles leaves Perth and the Consillium of the Broken Wing, convinced that he is being held back by both. Following a heated confrontation between himself and Ravis, Damocles turns his back on the consillium and departs for Sydney.

• 2003:

- July: Damocles encounters a freshly Awakened Mage of incredible potential and takes the young charlatan under his wing. An Acanthus, the Mage who would one day be known as Sash, the girl is informally apprenticed to Damocles who pulls her back on her feet and pushes her through "the school of hard knocks" until she and her brother are safe and well.

- November: Damocles leaves Sydney, after nearly three years as a valuable but reviled Solitaire in their Consillium. Departing for New York, Damocles becomes deeply involved in Wall Street while gaining notoriety among Consillia in the Tri-State area.

• 2008: Mages of the Manhattan Consillium catch wind of mortal authorities investigating the involvement of Damocles' interests in the financial markets crash. Damocles himself is eventually found in a daze, missing his soul. After a protracted effort by a cabal in the region, Damocles' soul is restored and investigators are thrown off his scent. However, one by one the Consillia of the Tristate area close their doors to Damocles and his disgrace.

• "Back after so many years, clearly with an agenda in mind. What is he up to, I wonder?" - Alemonia Arlington

• "Gave me a name, and a name for what I was. Taught me and cleaned me up and gave me a place to belong. Frankly, I don't care if you think he's a cock. I owe him more than I can ever pay back, so you just go talk your shit somewhere else." - Sash
