Bio: Well what can be said abut the Warlock other then good God! This magi has been lurking around for so long that I am certain he had tea with Merlin, within the mists of Avalon. The Warlock is a man of true mystery and intrigue and where he came from is not really known, just one day he was among us and the world has had to deal with him ever since. The Warlock nowadays is more a secluded hermit living deep within the wilds of the Seattle wastes, though before his self imposed seclusion this hermetic was the go to wizard for any and all magical needs and support within Seattle. He was one of the first magi to be brought into the newly awakened Sixth World though one can argue that he was long since awake prior to the return of magic, and for this caster magic never truly left his grasp. The Warlock is and has always been as mad as a hatter and some say that he would mumble about times long since forgotten and be able to recall events that happened thousands of years prior as if they just happened. This reporter would normally speculate that it is all part of his madness, but we have recently uncovered that age is nothing more than an illusion and people can and have lived far longer than what is thought to be possible. So when it comes to the Warlock I wouldn’t be surprised that he is far older than anyone actually knows and second his madness is caused by his longevity. In any case, when it comes to this magi one best tread lightly and don’t make any sudden movements unless you want to spend eternity as a frog.

         The Warlock is a true man of magic and has a intimate knowledge of sorcery and conjuration far greater than anyone else in the known world, though he is totally insane and this is the problem. The Warlock holds the power of true magic in the palm of his hand, yet his grip on reality has shattered so this has rendered him totally unpredictable. Lucky thing is for most of Seattle that he has secluded himself far away from the contact of civilization and rarely comes within the boarders of the city. Though when he does, it is always a grand show, he either arrives in his out of date attire as seen in his photographs or he wanders into the city dressed in long grey robes with the traditional pointed wizards hat. Though there have been reports of the Warlock being in the royal blue robes and tall pointed hat with white stars sprawled over the fabric, carrying a large wooden staff with a infused crystal on the top. Again I repeat the Warlock is off his rocker and yet sadly he fits in with the average citizen of Seattle and has become a bit of a icon for those within the Sixth World, and has been studied in many of the universities.

          As much as it is a good thing that he has secluded himself, this is also creating a bit of a problem for those, that desire to seek him out for his vast wisdom and his tutelage. Forcing people to venture deep into the wilds and wastes in hopes that the Warlock will even entertain the idea of guests. Also this puts everyone in danger, seeing that if the Warlock is just sane enough he will take on a student or even God help us all come back into the confines of the city. Though having the Warlock outside the city also keeps us safe from his wicked experiments and his creations, yes this man has created many a magical being that should not be, how he does it well that is a damned mystery and why well do you even have to ask cause you will not like the answer. I am talking about some serious “Wizard of the Oz ” stuff here, flying monkeys, trees that have eyes and speak, bipedal animals that are fully cognitive and awakened (not your typical shape-shifter) and not to mention his laboratory that has a freaking yellow brick road. So yes again I say it the Warlock is off his rocker and can be a serious issue for those of us that live in the real world.

         But long before he vanished into the wilds and became a recluse, he was once a serious runner and shadow warrior. The Warlock has worked and even trained some of the best magi of the shadows, thus passing on a bit of his insanity and bestowing the madness onto a new generation. One name for certain has been once a pupil of the Warlock and that man is known as the Wickerman and we can see just how stable Wicker is. Also the Warlock was once a family man and had a child, well this was a marriage made in…well I am not sure what. The Warlock was married to another magi a sorceress of sorts a women that goes by the name of Maleficent, and shares the same madness of her love. Well these two managed to form a perfect union for some time and even sired a child, though according to the legend this child was eventually left with a regular family as his parents where so far lost within their own madness that they could no longer properly raise a child. This is just a legend though, I will tend to believe that the Warlock and Maleficent were to self absorbed in there operations, research and experiments to even have the time to sire a child, no if a child does exist it was nothing more then a mystical creation that went awry.

         So with all that said there really is nor much that I can really report on the Warlock, this man is just so damned mad that it is hard to decipher fact from fiction when it comes to what he is capable of. What we do know is that he has access to some very scary magic, that has been thought to have been lost, he wields ancient magic with ease and has long lost adept abilities. He protects his laboratory with all his might and is very suspicious of anyone that gets to close. He has an army of elementals that serve his every need and he is in possession of some serious relics of a time long forgotten, oh he is still married to Maleficent and she can be seen flying around on her broom….yes I said it broom, around the emerald Laboratory. So if it’s no one crazy magi you will have to deal with it’s two and again the Warlock and his beloved are the epitome of madness. That being said, I have no reports of the Warlock being evil, just very much touched, otherwise reports indicate that he is a decent fellow, now his wife well thats another story all together. They say opposites attract and this relationship is very much polar opposite, he is a decent being besides being touched in the head and well the whole turning people into frogs problem. Where she is a true wicked witch and scoops up the frogs and boils them for stew, she is the power and is not afraid of her own shadow. Where the Warlock, is a recluse and hermit Maleficent is much more proactive and will be hurling lighting bolts from the sky, casting hexes and being the epitome of wicked. Lets just hope that if they do have a child that it is more grounded, and doesn’t take after either of the parents, we don’t need another magi that is afraid of their own shadow and hurling fireballs at every little bump in the night. Though again thats if the child even exists, this is one time that I seriously hope the legend is just that a legend.
