Sebastian Faust

## Background

### 1986 - 1999: Sebastian Faust

Born in England, Sebastian Faust is the first child of Felix & Christa Faust. At an early age, Sebastian was exposed to magic but his father still did not care much for him. He degraded the boy, even refusing to call him by his name. However, Sebastian was the apple of his mother's eye & she doted upon the boy every chance she got. His father Felix Faust was always into magic. Not only was he a notorious mystics arm dealer & sorcerer, the Faust family was known for being an ancient & powerful family of sorcerers. Felix's ways with the mystic arts soon brought the whole family into the dark arts.

When Sebastian was thirteen, his younger sister Fauna was born but his mother developed leukemia. As his mother became too sick & his father became too bothered, Sebastian took care of Fauna during her first few weeks of life. While doing so, he watched as his father tainted his mother's soul with dark magic by getting her to sacrifice small animals to relieve her pain. When that didn't work, he convinced her to sacrifice babies instead. With no results, Felix eventually turned his attention to his own flesh & blood, Sebastian himself. He taught Sebastian some magic & took him to what he thought would be an initiation into the mystic rites. But Felix had tricked his son of course & planned to sell both his wife's tainted soul & his son's soul to a demon, in order to gain rites to an ancient form of magic. But when the demon arrived, he decided the trick was on Faust & gave the power to Sebastian instead.

Sebastian used his new found magic to fire a blast at his father, one of the very first skills he had learned from Felix himself. He went to grab his sister & mother but Felix got to his mother first, killing her right in front him. Fortunately, Sebastian was able to escape with his sister. He left her with a nice British family, who offered to take him as well but he refused, knowing it would be easier for his father to track them together.
