Name: Sefirot

Age: Unknown [In reality, about 38 - an older man]

Physical Description: A nondescript black man with short brown hair beginning to gray, a similarly-colored beard and soft blue eyes
Background: Born into a slave family that long ago was taken from Africa and since their freedom have lived in poverty in England, Sefirot's true name is known only to himself. Rumoured to be one of many children, Sefirot left home at a young age to follow a fortune-teller named Mama Gargola, who had visited his (very secretly) superstitious vodun family frequently. She had predicted that he would one day grow up to balance the ever-falling Tree of Life. Inspired by her words, he ran away to find her and learn how he could do this.

It didn't take long for him to realize something was amiss; she was a sorcerer! She was different from others he had heard about, though; she claimed her power flowed down from god himself through the Tree of Life, and began to teach Sefirot in her ways. At first unwilling, Sefirot soon became acclimated to the idea, and then began to take to his new studies with great enthusiasm, progressing quickly. First he learned meditation and how to control his emotions, and then gradually began to be able to see how the energy of the tree flowed through his life and the world around him. He could see the energy, and once he learned to be utterly in control of himself, began to manipulate it, resulting in what appeared to others to be magic. Once he had mastered this secret, he earned the name 'Sefirot' from Mama Gargola.

He became an avid student of the Jewish Mystic Kabbalah and the Tree of Life, upon which his powers of manipulation were based. In essence, he began to develop the ability to subtly manipulate the environment near himself. He is never found without his ancient pack of Tarot cards, which he uses frequently to help people reorder their lives - often combined with a subtle manipulation of their emotions through rechanneling the energies of the Tree of Life.

His current major strength lies in the area of emotional and mental manipulation, though he has recently been attempting to learn how to physically manipulate objects around him, in an attempt to learn to heal people and to command the four elements: Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. Before these trainings could be completed, though, his mentor was killed by a force nerly arising: The Inquisition.

Sefirot escaped from their attack with a few of her tomes, and since that day has attempted to learn on his own, though progress has been much slower. Sefirot has withdrawn into himself, and wanders the streets of London, constantly evading the Inquisition. Though they killed his master, he does not hate them; he controls his emotions, and seeks only to correct the error of their ways, and to help other around him. He frequently appears in underworld settings, offering spiritual and practical advice to those who need it, and then vanishing again. He constantly wears a long black coat and broad-brimmed fedora, inside of which he conceals his master's tomes. He never carries any weapons; he riles upon his mental and emotional manipulation abilities to keep him safe; using mental confusion, distraction, or filling pursuers with remorseless despair, he often tricks weak-willed Inquisitors into stopping their chase, allowing him to escape. His heretical beliefs and religious practices have led him to become a minorly wanted man in London.

Personality: Intentionally enigmatic and mysterious, Sefirot is also kind and generous, going out of his way to help those in need and bring spiritual enlightenment to them. He never hates, and is full of love and wisdom. He has complete control over his emotions, and is normally calm, tranquil, and gracious.
