Shane

Shane was born in New Orleans to a Haitian mother and an American father, inheriting the spiritual traditions of both bloodlines while rejecting the moral constraints of either. As a child, he witnessed his grandmother perform rituals that bent the fabric of reality itself, though her power was always tempered by prayer and purpose—qualities Shane found suffocatingly boring. He spent his youth collecting forbidden grimoires and experimenting with the old magic in ways his family considered profane, drawing spirits and entities that should have remained dormant. When his grandmother discovered his blasphemous work, she cast him out, but not before cursing him with an insatiable hunger for power that no amount of success could ever satisfy. Now he wanders the crossroads between the living and dead, his woolen staff carved from a tree struck by lightning and wrapped in cloth dyed with ingredients he refuses to name, dispensing curses and bargains with equal indifference to those desperate enough to seek him out. Shane answers to no god, respects no boundary, and views morality as merely another tool to manipulate the weak, making him as unpredictable as the spirits he commands.
