# History

Hailing from the South Eastern part of America in Charleston, South
Carolina, Mason is a Satyr who knows what he wants. His parents brought
 him from West India to live in America with them when he was two. He
knows very little of his own culture as his family quickly embraced all
that Charleston had to offer. While Satyr were common in his home country, the change in environment came a change in his
family's daily routine. His mother, a Satyr herself, taught him
 many things about Alchemic Sciences; showing him that Science was the
wise man's trade and telling him that 'magic' was just the fools
explanation for science. It was she, who showed him how to mix the
potions and salves that would later aid him in his travels. The irony
not being lost on him that they themselves were 'magical beings', but
that's a trait that could easily be explained away by a genetic
evolutionary anomaly, right?

 Mason's father was the one who
funded their trip to America, having been offered a chance to teach
entomology at the College of Charleston, all be it having to deal with
privileged idiots who made fun of his accent. Mason's family did well,
they prospered in Charleston and his mother even opened a Holistic
Medicine shop that was affordable for those not in the upper class that
would wear their fancy attire to head down to the Dock Street Theater
every weekend. It wasn't until Mason was in College himself that his
father started drinking.

 Mason was seventeen at the time and at
first didn't fight his father on it. Years of hurtful discrimination,
no matter that Mason's family was in a nice house and owned their own
business, had taken a tole on his father and he, sadly enough, took it
out on his wife and son. Mysteriously though, after Mason got out of the
 hospital from a more serious recent injury after his college
graduation, his father just so happened to vanish and was found some
days later by the Battery dock-walk in the downtown area.

 Even
stranger so his mother seemed to get along well for someone who'd just
lost her husband. Mason and his mother found peace for a time. They
made off well by selling items from their shop and Mason even took up
the teaching position his father left behind until he met a young man
named Thackory, who really wasn't but a year younger then himself. They
 began a rather promiscuous relationship under much discretion. Mason
would sing silly songs and make ridiculous concoctions to show his
affections for Thackory, however, like many times before in Mason's life
 his happiness with Thackory did not last and he found him hung outside
of his home with a sign around his neck reading, 'all sinners will
burn'.

 After the funeral, to which Mason's mother forced him not
to attend for his own safety, it was rather easy to use a crystal, map,
and herbal mixture to find the rogues who'd killed Mason's love. Blood
is so messy but a poisoned monkshood blade is much more satisfying then a
 few drops in a drink of moonshine. He fled that night, under the
worry that what he'd done would be traced back to his family somehow.
He knew his mother had friends who would take care of her.

 As he
sailed across the ocean in the rear cargo hold of a tanker ship it was
difficult for Mason to decide what he would miss more about Charleston.
 His mother, who taught him how to survive or the freedom that came in
those cobbled dark streets. Mason knew life could have been worse in
America, many died from starvation or illness when they arrived. He had
 thrived in a new country and he supposed he would again. Will and
profit would be his certainties in Germany. Love was a fools errand.
Money could not be killed or die. This much, he knew he could trust.
