HORROR AND MAGIC
Horror that comes from magic weavers, spell casters,
and others who wield unusual powers or abilities.

MAGUS
It is said that he is the famed Simon Magus from the Bible.  Other legends and tales place him throughout the world and throughout history.  His tattooed skin belies his true nature, but to the disciples of the remote monastery, he is The Master.   However, when today’s world intrudes upon his solitude, The Magus, must rejoin the world.  Can even his great powers of alchemy be enough to contend with this new world?

SAINT GERMAINE
Legend…Mage….Sorcerer. He has traversed the paths of mankind for untold years. He consumes the memory of men who are dying and adds them to his own. He is Saint Germaine and death to him is nothing more than a state of consciousness. Mix the key elements of Quantum Leap with X-Files and you can get a good idea of the potential. Add something like Millenium as the dark side of mankind is explored and it’s easy to see that Saint Germaine can move in a lot of different directions.

THE DISCIPLES
So, you think you know the truth about magic? Wicca, Voodoo, Chaos, Tarot…call it what you will…but it is much different that believed. This isn’t the old school of speaking in rhymes and staged theatrics, there are fundamental elements at work that are so powerful, so dangerous and cosmic, they threaten to tear the very fabric of reality asunder. But who guards us against this impending onslaught? The Disciples, a misfit group of seers, magicians, and wielders of the Black Arts whose own internal politics pose as great a threat to their survival as any outside influence.

NIGHTLINGER

With a sexy assistant, Nightlinger chooses his cases carefully, and only the gold lettering on his black business cards let you know if your case is under investigation.

FEY
He is a rakish, roughish, ne’er do well who has one foot planted in this world and one in the next, both shod in cool ass shoes made of Italian leather. He dresses nice, smokes too much, and has this weird right eye thing. He’s half mortal…half, who knows? He’s one part saint, two parts sinner, with a dash of mad-drunk poet mixed in. He is Fey. He scares the hell of those who know him…he can go places no one else can…he knows stuff no one else knows…and speaks to the dead…many of which he sent to the that void.

WORLDS OF H.P. LOVECRAFT
