Herbert Wallace

Herbert Wallace is a young tormented man. He was locked up in a psychiatric hospital for a long time and remains subject to delirious, destructive visions and takes extremely violent and destructive action. His terrible past experiences left him badly scarred both mentally and physically.

History
Wallace has not always been considered mad... He is the son of a wealthy family and was well known for his escapades as a rich student.

He was an admirer of Byron, cultivating the dandy style and a figure of nocturnal London. Numerous were those who remember his late and staggering appearances at posh parties, as well as those who had to confront him in bloody duels.

Wallace, a dandy worthy of the name, was, of course, interested in occult sciences, spirituality and sorcery. Following several bad experiences among rather seedy small groups, the Circle eventually contacted Wallace. These learned people recognized his energy and potential and managed to steer him away from groups of less noble motivations.

Wallace proved to be an unremitting and studious recruit and surpassed the initiation tests one after the other to become a fully-fledged agent of the Circle.

Soon, as a full member, Wallace was led to finding out about the schemes of a sect, which turned out to be the Brotherhood of Hecate. Even worse, just as he had entered the sanctuary, they discovered that a scary individual was behind the organization, a sorcerer with dreadful powers: Crowley himself! The expedition turned into disaster as Wallace fell into the hands of Crowley and his henchmen.

Submitted to torture and vile experiments for what seemed an eternity of pain, Wallace nevertheless managed a miraculous escape.

Driven mad by this atrocious experience, he was found wandering the dark alleyways of London by the police and was quickly locked up in an asylum for dangerous madmen.

Appearance
Wallace is in his twenties but appears twenty years older. He has lost most of his once magnificent hair and his features are emaciated from hunger and bad treatment. His body is covered with various scars and cuts, sometimes self-inflicted, that he covers with numerous bandages thereby covering his body of sinuous muscles.

Motivations & aims
Wallace was certainly promised a brilliant and eventful life but Crowley was to stop him in his stride. Tormented, anxious and scarred, Wallace is overpowered by his fate. Scared by his new appearance and chaotic thoughts, he is afraid of becoming a monster and having been corrupted forever by Crowley's influence and tampering. Still, he is blessed with enormous inner energy and a fury to live, making him capable of standing up against any type of ordeal...
