Biography

Kin to the Children of Gaia, he was haunted by his failure to Change. Setting out on his own, Haight learned about the power of Kindred blood and became an independent ghoul. After some time, he advanced from piddling ghoul to piddling sorcerer, mastering enough hedge magic to create a ritual that, with the aid of five Garou skins, would turn him into a werewolf.

After becoming a powerfully Wyrm-tainted kinfolk-werewolf-independent-ghoul-hybrid, he attacked the farm of the Crombeys, a coven of Verbena, and stole a magic pumpkin branch Haight acquiring a magical artifact that provided him with an Arete rating and thus became, for all intents and purposes, a Mage.

Haight proceeded to Mexico City to take on the Baali "Antediluvian". Although it wasn't a proper Antediluvian, but only a methuselah, Haight did not survive the encounter.

He then found himself in the Shadowlands, and according to the WTO: The Book of Legions Buy it from DriveThruRPG! Now in Print!, was soulforged into an ornamental ashtray on a minor Hierarchy functionary's desk, never to be seen again.

At least until Mage: Judgment Day, by Bruce Baugh, where we are presented with one small scene of the book, where the character is buffeted by detritus from the Underworld. One of the items is — you guessed it — an ashtray.
