Imported Pages/Bowman

Personal Information
Before his Awakening, the mage formerly known as David Breton was a professor of anthropology at Saint Louis' Washington University, specializing in comparative mythology. He had a special fondness for the occult, and it would ultimately be his research into this obsession that opened his eyes to the supernal. He managed to uncover a tome he now (half jokingly) refers to as De Vermis Mysteriis. Bowman's still not entirely sure about the contents, but the discovery rather forcefully Awakened him. He prefers not to talk about the experience, as it was traumatic enough to cause a mental breakdown that cost him his position at the University.

These days, Bowman makes ends meet as a private investigator, relying on both his spells and the tricks he picked up occasionally consulting with the FBI. He buffers his mostly repaired sanity with copious amounts of alcohol and nicotine.

Appearance
Tall, thin, and usually seen with a cigarette or beer clutched in his hand, Bowman would be well dressed if it weren't for the fact that he seems to have been wearing the same suit for the past two weeks. His hair is usually unkempt, and he wears about two days worth of stubble at any given time. His familiar, Grimbly, takes on the form of a pitch black raven, or occasionally that of a rather stuffy librarian, complete with sweather vest and spectacles.

Nimbus
A crawling mass of shadowy tentacles, accompanied by the sickly sweet smell of rotting meat and a greasy texture.

Personality
Grumpy, irritable, and generally sarcastic, Bowman is nevertheless fairly outgoing, often to the dismay of the other members of the Night Congress. While prone to thinking the worst of everyone, if one earns his respect Bowman tends to behave much more civilly.
