Since the advent of magic and occult science, the natural laws of the world once thought immutable have been under relentless attack. Time, causality, space, continuity- everyone from governments to academics to madmen have been feverish to learn and exploit the new possibility magic introduces to the world, eager to crack reality like an egg and drink deep the yolk that flows forth.

It’s a race that someone had to win eventually. And yet, as the years became decades the work stagnated, fell to the wayside, as new technologies came to the forefront and new ways of harnessing the new age of magic became ever more possible.

Perhaps the race was rigged, the finish line an impossibility. Perhaps there are facts of the universe that cannot be circumnavigated by its inhabitants, that some things can never be done, or undone.

Or perhaps it’s because the race has already been won.

Visually he would look like an old, sharp looking man with slicked back grey hair and piercing yellow eyes, in dirty, floor length leather coat with occult trinkets and symbols hanging off it. His gun would be an anachronistic looking pistol that looks like its too old to fire.
