Odd Michael

Odd Michael's maddening visage.

Odd Michael is an extremely dangerous and infamous Magician that was formerly a member of the now disbanded Magic Men of Bristol, once a student of the famed Dr. Lewis Brindley, Odd Michael is now known for his vile and disturbing crimes against humanity.

## History

Since his birth on the cold streets of Boston, Michael Elbertson was known for his incredibly predictable demeanor but no one predicted the murders of seven of his fellow Bostonians on the 19th of October 1935 by a man in a red cape.

Michael was blamed due to his possession of a red cape, which he commonly wore around town, he was arrested and sent to Alcatraz Island were he spent four years plotting his revenge, Michael quickly became known for his magic tricks which he preformed around the prison earning him the nickname Odd Michael.

In truth, Michael had been secretly perfecting his illusions over the four years and so, on 19th October 1949 Odd Michael Elbertson vanished into thin air. Now on the run Michael left America and sailed to the UK where he would change his name and wipe the slate clean, only to be deported to Australia the next year for stealing two chickens.

On his arrival to Australia, Michael was immediately drafted into The First Great Emu War and it was there in the trenches were he met Dr. Lewis Brindley who dazzled Michael with his magical skills and invited him to his new Magician coven, The Magic Men of Bristol.

### Magic Men of Boston

After the disbandment of the Magic Men of Bristol, Odd Micheal would return to Boston where he would attempt to establish his own Magician coven, "The Magic Men of Boston". Michael's dream would quickly fade however after casting a precognition spell, which revealed that the Magic Men of Boston's base of operations would burn down the next day.

In an attempt to change this fate, Michael casted a protection spell, encasing the building in an impenetrable bubble to prevent any outside forces from getting in, unfortunately he didn't count on an inside force causing the fire.

Ironically, the bubble Michael created prevented anyone from escaping the fire, leaving everyone of his students burned to a crisp except for the student that started the fire, Satanic Steven, Michael's favorite student who would commonly summon demons to speed up the progression of his magical power. Eventually growing so addicted to power that he promised the souls of every other student to a demon named Zeraxos and in return became as powerful as the greatest living magician, Dr. Lewis Brindley.

Riddled with guilt, Michael attempted to kill Satanic Steven but failed due to his overwhelming power, he was then banished to Hell itself to reflect on his foolishness where he was met by the demon Zeraxos who told him he was willing to trade the souls of the students for Michael's soul. Michael accepted the deal, giving Zeraxos his powerful Magician soul which transformed the lesser demon into a Demon Lord.

Now Returned to the mortal world, Michael discovered that Dr. Lewis Brindley had subdued Satanic Steven with the help of the other former Magic Men of Bristol but unfortunately his students bodies were too damaged to be resurrected, leaving Michael to is own guilt, which would quickly morph into anger that drove him to travel to Bristol and kill the imprisoned Satanic Steven in a rage, against Lewis' wishes.

### Descent into Villainy

Michael was excommunicated from the Magician community and charged by the Magical council for allowing a student to evoke demons, selling his soul to a demon and killing another magician, his punishment would be a life sentence in Magician prison, enraged by the Magicians' hostility towards him, Michael destroyed his holding cell and escaped back to Boston.

After pursuing Michael for several days, the Magician police decide to force him out of hiding using his family as bait but after attempting to sanction the plan by calling Bristol they discovered that Michael had slaughtered the entire Magical council, in retaliation the police incinerated the Elbertson house along with Michael's family. Once again drowning in guilt and anger, Michael destroyed the remaining Magical establishments of Bristol before once again vanishing into thin air.
