Flashback is a Obrimos Seer of the Throne from Chicago, Illinois.

Overview[]

Quote: "We have them on infra-red now, we need someone to knock out their security. I'm ready to rumble. Let's take 'em! Oh God! The noise! Lemme out lemme out lemme out lemme out!"

A recent psychological casualty of the Iraq conflict, Flashback retuned to Chicago with a psych discharge and a diagnosis of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). He also returned an Awakened mage and a confirmed member of the Seers of the Throne through his exposure to the violent and often demonic nature of Middle Eastern summoning magics. Determined to make sure that nothing like that ever came to his hometown, he sought others like himself. He found the Bibliotech and was quickly enlisted as the pylon's head of operations and physical protector.

Flashback remebers only sporadic things about his background. He was always militarily inclined, and dreamed of being a career Army officer. He stayed with the Boy Scouts through his Eagle Scout badge, joined the NRA for access to a practice range and instruction on weapons and weapons care, took ROTC in high school and riflery and target shooting in PE, scoring high marks in local competitions. Guns meant more than people did to him, and he both loved and respected the weapons for their beauty and latent power.

When he returned from the war, Flashback was a man with a mission - to uproot the magic that had entrenched itself in the foundation of the world and was at the root of everything evil. In his journey of Awakening, he had met the real rules of the world-prison - the Exarchs - and they made everything clear: the world as it was because the mages have taken control.

Description[]

Flashback is a handsome young man with a white-blond brush cut, a fresh-from-the-farm boyish expression, pale blue eyes and a thing-lipped killer's mouth. He stands at 6'1" and weighs 195 pounds. His body is in near-perfect physical shape, except for a few scars here and here from the war. He favors khakis, military camo, army boots and white tanks or T-shirts. He's almost always armed with some sort of weapon or else is surrounded by weapon parts.

His Nimbus appears to be made up of bullets. Sounds of gunfire accompany vulgar magic.
