Background
Jason was born to Christopher Argyris and Athena Drakos in the summer of 2057. He grew up in the vibrant Greek community along Danforth Avenue in east Toronto. His earliest memories are of a female warrior with a horse-hair crested helmet and bronze breastplate and greaves watching over him. He Awakened at a young age both as an adept and magician. Attended Seattle University's Magical theory and Arts program on an academic scholarship. He met Anna Van Der Pelt through her talismongering business. Anna found him odd jobs in the shadows and by the time he graduated shadow work was appealing.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Mentor spirit - Athena, the Wise Warrior. Conflict is too important to let emotion hold sway. Strategy, tactics, and logistics carry the day not blood lust.
Jack of All Trades Master of None - A quick study but sometimes loses focus.
Negative
SINer - His parents are white collar UCAS citizens.
Mild Uncommon Phobia (Snakes) - Too slithery.
Code of Honor (Warriors Code) - Nature or Nurture? Hard to say, especially with a mentor spirit in the mix.
