Peter Fairgrave; Trained gunfighter, Shaman (Thyrsus), Thearch, Lictor of Silver Ladder
Shadow Name: "Doyle"
"Hey, I'm not here to play the bad guy… but I can"
Virtue: Fortitude / Vice: Wrath
Concept: Spirit-world federal marshal, genuinely nice guy.
Description: A tall lean man with a well-kept but rugged looking beard. Though clearly young and somewhat inexperienced, he prefers to wear worn and somewhat olden clothing, in emulation of his old master. Doyle tries to present a manner of surely gruffness, but he is young and he hasn't settled into the pattern yet, with his youthful bluster and excitement poke through.

Special:
Soul Stone:
Though an act of hubris, Peter has forged a piece of his own soul into an artefact from which he draws power. While dangerous, Peter protects his stone well, and its existence is a well kept secret. This stone however is not intended for a demesne, as Peter knows full well the potential which can be harvested from active use of ones own soul. "A simple silver band worn on his wedding finger": While in his grasp (or at least within 20ft of him), this soul fragment enables Peter to make better use of its potential. It confers the following powers and abilities:
- Any persistent magical effect the caster wishes to place upon his soul stone have their duration increased by two-steps in their duration scale. Making the average "scene" last around 12hours and any basic "prolonged" last 2 days.
- Any spells from the ruling arcana (Spirit&Life) of the soul in question, add +1 to any dice pools
- All paradox the mage would induce has the roll reduced by 1 die.
- Once per day, at the cost of 1 willpower, the mage may make any vulgar spell he wishes to cast covert
