The cryptozoologist

She was brought to Magnus when she was just a kid, her parents didn’t know how to deal with her ha ndicap (unrevealed); they brought her to the only person who could help her. She grew up working for Magnus and became a very skilled and powerful magician. She tends to prefer hand cast magic, making her a very dangerous opponent with multitasking abilities. She is fond of mythical creature and animals, her cat; Lucifer (Lucy for the relatives) is a talking spawn of a demon; she often spends time in the room of the 3rd floor: The Garden where all creatures are kept in an infinite loop making them think they are in their natural habitat. She only recently reconnected with her cousin Alice, she does not judge what she does for a living since she’s basically her only relative (Alice is in a local mystic crime organization).

The High Mage

Also known as Magister in human history books, Magnus is an immortal mage, he mastered all kind of magic and is a universal reference when it comes to history, magic and literature (he tries to get into music but is stuck in the swinging 60s). He runs his own orphanage when he educates the next generation of great human and magical leaders. His manor: Magister’s Mansion is universally known as a notable landmark, but nobody can visit it or even find it in New York (special invisibility charm). He has the second greatest book and relic collection in the worlds. He can die but will regenerate his mind into the first baby born after his death. It makes it quite difficult for his mages to find him in the world since Magnus can’t revive his memories until he’s reached 7 years old. When they do find him, they make him older, he is 52 years old again because that’s when he first became a mage; he can’t keep his youth and his memory at the same time.

The new comer

He arrived at the manor few weeks before everything went south. He is a British apprentice magician and was send to Magnus for a proper magical education even though he is basically the same age as Alestra. He likes dressing properly and is one of the only characters with a wand (very European). He’s a bit proud and cocky but when, and if, you get past this, he’s really caring and sweet.

The battle witch

Originally from Africa, she came to America with Zanobi to steal something from Magnus, a special device allowing anyone to see the past in the location they’re at. After Magnus disappeared, they made their move and got caught. Alestra made a deal with them, they would help her find the book, and in exchange, she would give them the device. Soraya is from a very rich family and had a complete training and education, she mainly uses offensive and defensive spells and shares a permanent telepathic link with Zanobi. At first, she didn’t care much about history, but hearing Zanobi think about it all the time got her into it. She has no interest in finding the book and neither does Zanobi simply because it has already been found by Magnus a few years before. But in exchange for a way to find any other treasure, she’ll try to find it.

The Historian

Zanobi became deaf when his plane crashed, he was coming back from a summer camp and had just created the telepathic link with Soraya. He had amnesia from the shock and didn’t know where to go and what to do. Magic allowed him to escape the burning remains but he had no idea where he was and who he was; he only had her voice in the head. He’d eventually find people like him willing to welcome him and help him understand what he was dealing with when it came to magic. He stayed with them for a few years, his family thought he died in the plane crash. He’s passionate about the past and the symbols and recurring image in history.

An agent of the Magical Organization of North America (M.O.N.A)
