Reuben Spellman

## Reuben Stoteraux

**Reuben Spellman** (né **Stoteraux**) is the main deuteragonist of *The Stoteraux Diaries*. Reuben is an extremely dangerous warlock who once held the title of high priest. He is also the husband of the necromancer Ambrose Spellman. Together they go on to have a baby together, their daughter Kandice.

## Early History

Reuben was born on October 31, 1702 as the only son of Lutarius Stoteraux. Following the death of his mother at the hands of witch hunters, Lutarius sent his son away in order to protect him. He grew up in private school, and met Ambrose Spellman, an orphan who belonged to the school. They grew up together and became best friends. When the witch hunters attacked the school, this forced Reuben to admit his love for Ambrose. They got married, and decided to start a family of their own. In 2015, they welcomed their first and only child, their daughter Kandice.

## Personality

"*Reuben is a dark and powerful man who can get just about anything he wants. He's well respected amongst his fellow witches and has a rivalry with the current high priest. He loves his daughter dearly and will go out of his way to ensure that her enemies suffer. He is a dangerous individual who doesn't regret his decisions especially when it comes to the spells he's cast.*"

### Kandice Spellman

"*You're my light. My little girl, and I promise, that I won't let you go. I'll never leave you again.*"
—**Reuben** to **Kandice**

*Main article: Reuben and Kandice*
Kandice is Reuben's only child and daughter. Reuben loves her dearly, and would do anything to protect his daughter. They were separated for a month, as Reuben was accused of murdering a fellow coven member. However, the memory of her father was kept alive by Ambrose, as he told her that her father loved her unconditionally. When they were finally reunited, it is soon revealed that Kandice is just like her father, and shares similar interests to him. When Rueben called Kandice his "little princess", Kandice retaliates, and hugs him.

### Ambrose Spellman

"*Despite the fact that my long list of dastardly deeds involves killing you, I'm glad you're alive.*"
—**Reuben** to **Ambrose**

Ambrose is Reuben's husband, and bestfriend. Ambrose cares deeply for Reuben, and is quick to defend him against his wrong doings. They went to school together and from that point on, they have grown much closer to one another. After they both admitted their feelings for one another, Ambrose and Reuben finally married each other, and welcomed their daughter.
