Damien Masaru

Damien Masaru is President of the mysterious Megacorporation Talaris presiding over corporate operations on Corvanis 3.
Damien is best known publicly as a thought leader in magical research. He's published several renowned academic papers. His specialties are astral projection and extraplanar entities. His thesis on the astral is the currently accepted authority on the subject.
Professionally, Damien has created several new Talaris product lines in Savior City. Advertising magical enhancement in everything from beauty to fitness, these products are sometimes criticized for questionable MLM tactics and a lack of empirical data that shows their efficacy. These products have brought billions into Talaris in recent years.
He is also known as an accomplished academic mage. He speaks on Atlantis media, at corporate events, and at schools concerning magical theory. Certain tabloids have claimed that Damien possesses immense magic knowledge, others say that his work is only theoretical. Sensationalist media claims that Talaris seeks to control the darker powers of magic under his leadership. No proof of this has ever been found.
==Origin==
It's known that Damien was born into a wealthy family. He attended a Talaris-sponsored school for aspiring corporate mages. 
In the Holonet Documentary "The Strange Tale of Talaris" it is said that Damien once ran the Talaris division for corporate surveillance and astral projection research. He moved quickly through the ranks to Senior Management after several supposed breakthroughs. He was invited to lead Talaris by the corporate board after a few years in Senior Management.
==History==
===Product production line===
Though his work as President of Talaris is speculated on, Talaris' profits have increased substantially under his watch. New product lines he has introduced include:
* Perfumes and Cosmetics purported to magically enhance attractiveness and allure. These products went untrusted by many of the Tech Megacorps, but they were an instant hit within Talaris and on the Callous Row street markets.
* Fitness and Weight Loss products that promise supernatural results. A major hit among the wealthy in the Corporate towers.
* An Astral Surveillance program using wind spirits to run security on high-end clients. This is Talaris answer to Nirvana insurance contracts, and it is a favorite of managers throughout the corporations.
Talaris frequently publishes data on the efficacy of these products, though no one from outside of the corporation has ever collaborated on it.
===Season 2 Episode 1 and 2===
==Academic Career==
Damien is one of Corvanis 3's leading magical theorists. He is a frequent guest of Corporate Universities and often a guest speaker in magical research classes. 
His work in astral theory is the currently accepted understanding of its planar nature. Several academics reference his research papers, collaborated by Talarian mage-scientists on the bleeding edge of research. Damien has also written the first treatise on interactions with Free Spirits, though no mages outside of Talaris have met them.
==Traits==
===Edges===
====Initiate Grade ?? Mage====
Major Edge
As President of the world’s leading corporation for magical pursuits, Damien is rumored to be a magic user himself. It's unclear if he simply dabbles with the occasional incantation or if he has some actual knowledge of spellcasting himself.
Interviewers have gone on record saying that Damien carries himself with a bizarre confidence for an unaugmented human. He has a predatory confidence befitting of a man behind a bulletproof wall - despite appearing entirely ordinary.
*Assensing ??
*Spellcasting ??
*Counterspelling ??
*Summoning ??
*Banishing ??
*Ritual Spellcasting ??
====Unknown Magical Prowess====
Minor Edge
Damien sometimes creates small cantrips for demonstrations of magical theory during his coursework. His actual spellcasting ability, if any, is unknown.
At a public speaking event in Callous Row, witnesses claim that a mug thrown at Damien shattered in mid-air before reaching him. Officials were unable to collaborate this story.
====Talaris Resources====
Minor Edge
Damien has full access to Talaris' immense resources. This may potentially include any of the vast amount of employees of the Talarian organization.
Including but not limited to:
*Talaris Magic User Resources
*Talaris Financial Resources
*Talaris Hit Squads and Guard Resources
====Life Insurance====
The PLATINUM Lazerus Program Nirvana Contract - Damien is insured under the highest level of Nirvana life insurance contract. Any serious threat to him is quickly answered by dispatching a High Threat Response (HTR) team to his location:
*Corporate Map: ?? RESPONSE TIME UNKNOWN
*Callous Row: ?? RESPONSE TIME UNKNOWN
*Undercity: ?? RESPONSE TIME UNKNOWN
*Wastelands: 20+ Minutes or Unavailable
=== Flaws===
Major Flaw | High Profile
Damien's entire career and history are based on his reputation. People in his world have everything to lose. Details specific to his public reputation and how it interacts with Talaris and the greater powers of Corvanis 3 are unknown.
Minor Flaw | Infamous / Servitude
Damien’s actions are always under scrutiny. As Talaris direct representative in Savior City, he must constantly be aware of his actions.
Minor Flaw | Pure
Damien appears to be completely unaugmented - an almost unheard of trait for someone at his level. Reasons for this are not known.
