Appearance: 
Personality: A mysterious and elegant gentleman who, upon meeting him and conversing for more than a few minutes, becomes far more mysterious and far less elegant. As a middle-aged man - though young for a magus with life-extending spellcraft - with plenty of regret over being unable to understand his estranged daughter, he tries hard to get in touch with people - and since he’s surrounded by high school to university-aged individuals, this has quite… jarring results. Still, he is a man with years of political maneuvering and teaching under his belt, so he is quite good at compartmentalizing his personality. This can also be quite jarring to those who have only seen the “dopey dad” side of him and not the “scion of an ancient magus lineage” side. This experience has also resulted in a personality that, while capable of extreme restraint, can only sigh and watch shenanigans unfold with the expression of someone who had recently dropped their favorite donut and spilled their morning coffee. Likewise, as someone immersed in magus culture, Sosthenes maintains a few rather old-fashioned magus values in spite of his attempts at seeming younger than he is. Namely, he has a disdain for the eastern schools of magecraft and low-blooded magi without any exceptional capability. Notably, he does not seem to hold himself in high esteem, and recent generations of Clock Tower students have ensured that Sosthenes does not live a technophobic lifestyle incapable of operating, say, a Blu-Ray Disc player.
Biography: A magus hailing from the Antaeoi family of Greece, an old but fairly unnotable family in Clock Tower’s political game up until Sosthenes’ generation. They have a reputation for their talent with constructing magical fortresses and oneness with the earth. Currently, he is a professor in Clock Tower’s Archaeology department, also known as “Astaire” or “Rocks Road”, and bears the rank of Pride within the Mage’s Association hierarchy. Rumor has it, however, that he has the potential to, or perhaps already managed to, achieve the esteemed rank of Brand. And of course, there is other gossip about him, but that’s not important - especially in Rocks Road, a faculty far away from all that magus power mongering. Despite conflicting claims, the truth is as follows:
Many years ago, a prodigious youth who, like any self-respecting magi, sought out great power started undertaking classes in the Clock Tower. After graduating, he pursued the rough. In his younger years he pursued the rough and tumble life of an Enforcer, seeking to prove himself the most powerful and thus accrue esteem among his fellow magi by hunting down Sealing Designates. That is, until he realized that the people who really matter in the magus world don’t typically care for the grunts who hunt down the rogues in any significant capacity. Understanding this fact, he shifted gears to the lifestyle of an academic in London, in the center of the political network of the culture. What follows is a fairly par for course attempt at amassing political power among the Clock Tower elite. He became a professor in the Mineralogy department, and was even married off at one point, and though the marriage was loveless and his wife ended up being met with a fatal accident, he cared greatly for his heir. Unfortunately, the life of a magi demands sacrifice, so this love did not obviously color his actions, causing many issues down the road.
The realization of his folly came when he learned that his daughter, in her pursuit to gain her father’s affection through skill at magecraft, stumbled upon a revelation that got her summarily Sealing Designated. After this, he demanded to be transferred from his post to Archaeology, a place where he could clear his head and distance himself from Clock Tower politics. It is in his time there that he mellowed out, and even took on an apprentice from the orient: Ren Mizushima. They went on many adventures and taught each other many lessons. Watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for a rough equivalent. Anyway, he sent his apprentice ahead of him to prepare for the ritual while he himself secured a catalyst for a powerful hero. He, a Greek geomancer, is mildly rustled about the fact his apprentice got his hands on a Greek Earth goddess.
Magecraft SectionSchool of Magecraft: Leyline Interference, Element and Attribute-based Magecraft (Wind, Subsumption)
Spells List- Antaeus (3/day) - Signature spell of the Antaeoi, and the source of their name. Uses the family attribute of subsumption to establish a pass to a leyline. Grants jurisdiction over the line, and dramatically enhances physical parameters ala Prana Burst. Also increases duration or size of spells due to extra prana. The cost to maintain it increases exponentially with distance from natural terrain and can only be cast when standing on it.
- Aeolus (5/day) - Creates wind that uses the attribute of subsumption to take in magecraft without physical substance and strengthen itself
- Zephyr (10/day) - Manipulates the direction of air
- Boreas (10/day) - Manipulates the pressure of air
- Notos (10/day) - Manipulates the speed of air
- Leyline Scrying (5/day) - Analyzes a leyline and determines the types of Bounded Fields and other magecraft linked to or otherwise involving it. Not an almighty scanning that reveals concept and history, but rather something akin to structural analysis: distance and direction from the user, general effect and activity, size and strength, completeness and freshness, and if it is drawing from the leyline or interfering with it.
- Leyline Detonation (1/day) - Long distance siege cannon. Channels the power of a leyline for a single, explosively powerful attack. Requires a long ritual and a magic circle as well, and comes with a targeting array.
- Bounded Field Interference (1/day) - Seizes control of or destroys Bounded Fields. A lengthy process either way, it should be noted the latter is faster than the former.
- Leyline Hacking (5/day) - Allows the user to tamper with non-Bounded Fields linked to the leyline. Cannot be done without scrying the leyline or being connected to it himself.
Mystic Codes- Tornado Umbrella - Sosthenes' signature Mystic Code. It looks like a fairly normal umbrella, but its design incorporates a fully-functional magic circle. Running prana through the umbrella and twirling it activates the ritual, creating a powerful sphere of wind that rotates in the direction of the twirl. Also allows the user to fly with an incantation. It is only active when open.
- Jewel Brooches - A set of brooches incorporating jewels containing great amounts of raw prana, which can be released in an instant. After use, they are useless. Only used in close-quarters emergencies. Sosthenes brought 9 to the war.
- Sosthenes' Enforcer Outfit - An old set of clothes that haven't been worn in a while. Has a series of defensive enchantments on it similar to an Executor's frock.
Notable Skills- Pankration
- Technological Literacy
- Teaching + Human Observation
