## Background

Alowishus Henderson was born to an upper class family in Seattle. His parents worked high up in the government and were able to provide well for his education and rearing. Near puberty, Alowishus was tested for magic ability and, much to his parent’s delight, tested as awakened. His parents immediately sent him to the best magic academy to learn with the best under an academy headed by Saeder-Krupp.

Alowishus excelled at the magical theory and had a great fondness for academia. During this time he developed a very abrasive and arrogant personality, things having come so easily to him. Coupled with his traditional good looks, he quickly garnered a reputation for being an arrogant bastard, a player, and a pretty shallow human being. This also led to an unbreakable confidence that only those lucky in life can truly achieve.

As a young and ambitious hermetic mage studying at a prestigious magical institution,Alowishus stumbled upon a hidden, illegal research project. This project, conducted by some unscrupulous mages within the academy, involved the binding and torment of a group of spirits. These spirits were being used for experiments to understand more about the spirit world and to forcefully extract their essence for powerful, but unethical, magical artifacts.

Alowishus , despite his know-it-all attitude and belief in the servitude of spirits, was appalled by the cruelty and suffering inflicted upon these beings. He saw this as a perversion of the natural order and a gross misuse of magical powers. Driven by a mix of moral outrage and a desire to prove his superior understanding of magical ethics and spirit interaction, he orchestrated a daring and clever plan to free these spirits.

The liberation was risky and required the use of advanced hermetic knowledge, intricate ritual circles, and a deep understanding of spirit nature. Alowishus managed to break the bindings, free the spirits, but was caught by the administration.

This act earned him a legendary status among spirits. The spirits he freed spread the tale of their liberation across the astral plane, painting your character as a hero and a liberator in their eyes. This respect from the spirit world has benefited him greatly in his magical endeavors, as spirits are more inclined to cooperate with him, aligning with his belief that binding them is for their own good.

Unfortunately, such was not the case for the academy. They immediately kicked him out and sued his family for his actions. His family could not stand to the full might of a corporation and soon lost their status and their money. They blamed Alowishus for this, who refused to take any responsibility for his actions. In fact, he further turned on his parents and left his home at 18 as soon as he could.

From then on, he tried looking for legal work. Being a mage opened a lof of doors for him. He preferred staying out of corporations, the experience of the academy having sour his taste for them. So he found it in any other industries he could. He was a security guard, transit authority, teacher, healer, and many others. Nothing would fit him due to his insufferable attitude and arrogance. Nothing was good enough for him, as he felt far too big for these small roles.

After years of bouncing around from job to job, aimless, he decided that if the world was not going to be giving him his dues, then he would simply take it from the world. The idea of being a shadowrunner, going on dark jobs, full of danger, stealing from the bad guys (corps, governments, anyone who might have wronged him) and giving it to the good guys (himself). So he decided that it was what he was going to become.

He figured, how hard could it be? Everything else was pretty easy, and he was a mage, already better than the rest of the rabble. Pointdexter (his new name, making fun of those jocks out there), would just go on a few runs, make some cash and be set for life. After all, it should be really easy for someone of his caliber.

There was some work to be done first, of course. He bought a gun, went to the range a couple of times till he got the hang of it. He bound a spirit for later use and learned a few new tricks. After a couple of months and a bunch of new, shiny gear, he’s a lot poorer, but ready to embark on this Shadowrun adventure!

## Narrative Significant Qualities

* Needs to be brought down a peg...or 20.
* He's a noob. he thinks life is easy because he never really had ambition. He needs to learn fast
* He's lacking in basic skills, having dedicated the least amount to those. The more kinds of things he thinks he needs to know he will learn.

## Appearance

Tall, dark and handsome is what Pointdexter is usually descried as. Shortly followed by "and an insufferable asshole".
He usually wears well fitting, trendy clothes. Sporting a manicure, trimmed hair, clean shaven, and a glowing smile, Pointdexter should be able to charm most people on his looks alone. He is on the taller side, with glasses that perfecetly match his strong jawline. He is in excellent physical shape, although not much actual muscle.

### Clothing

The best that can be afforded with a mid lifestyle.
