When mystic energy awoke on Earth, the world changed... anything was possible. But just because anything WAS possible, didn’t mean that anything SHOULD be possible. And so the government made rules. Laws. A means for US citizens to enjoy the benefits of the supernatural world in safety. But rules and laws are for lesser men. Men with limitations. Men who were not Seven.

There are many rumors about what Seven did to land himself in Lost Whisper, an oubliette for the most dangerous of occultists. But there is no doubt about what happened on the night of his execution.

Wards placed by the most powerful ritualists of 7 different nations… wards designed to not just prevent mystical interference with the execution, but to simultaneously obliterate Seven's soul so that it could never be contacted, resurrected, or otherwise be used by someone looking to follow in his footsteps... failed.

Onlookers viewed in horror as the strongest mentalist employed by the US Army’s head popped like a grape. They screamed as Scotland Yard’s premiere occult investigator, the one who allegedly captured Seven, crumbled to ash. Seven's body buckled and writhed against his restraints; his skin burning from eldritch electricity... and yet he would not die. He laughed.

He laughed as he tore himself free from his bondage.

He laughed as his captors cowered in fear.

He laughed as he massacred his tormentors.

He laughed as he tasted the fresh air that was denied to him for years.

And he laughed when he thought about what he was going to do once he reached New York City.

Overview

Seven's motive and wish in the ritual is to achieve "apotheosis",[1] which means the glorification of a subject to divine level,[2] meaning that Seven wants to become a god, or gain godlike powers.[3][4]

Biography

Seven claims he was imprisoned in Lost Whisper because he "offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos".[5] Seven implies getting caught and sent to Lost Whisper was part of his plan.[6] How Seven survived the botched execution is unknown, but he was implied to have died in the process, which could mean he's undead.[7]

Seven has done research on the Astral Gates, and he credits   Professor Dynamo as an influence in his work.[8]

Seven mentions that he once loved someone.[9] According to the  Archmother, Seven had a "destiny" which his lover tried to steal.[10]

The OSIC wants Seven dead.[11] They seem to know that Seven is in New York, as Seven is hiding from them in New York's subway tunnels.[12]

Seven mentions that he had to "scurry with the rats since he was a child".[13]

Personality

Seven says he doesn't like murder, rather, he is "indifferent" to it.[14] He does enjoy letting fear sink into his victims, however.[15]

Seven believes he will become powerful enough for the Patrons to bow to him.[16]

Information

Seven can speak the Ixian language.[17][18]

The New York Oracle reporter Allie Kincaid is writing a story on Seven.[19][20]

Character Relationships

  Kelvin

Seven has a one-sided hatred towards Kelvin for unknown reasons.[21][22][23]

Kelvin thinks Seven "seems familiar".[24] When being healed by Kelvin, Seven is reminded of "old times".[25]

Both Seven and Kelvin have an interest on researching Astral Gates.[26][27]

Seven believes Kelvin has a bigger ego than   Lash.[28]

A likely possibility is that Seven is Kelvin's old friend Ettrick, who "vanished".   Lady Geist says Ettrick "caused a scene" at one of Kelvin's fundraisers.[29] This is supported by one of Seven's lines to Kelvin that mirrors one of Kelvin's lines about Ettrick.[30][31] Kelvin pushed Ettrick away due to his "ambition", which aligns with Seven's ambition to achieve apotheosis.[32] Seven also believes that mentors "use the young to achieve glories they could not achieve on their own", possibly referring to Kelvin.[33]

Character interactions

  • Seven has a strong conviction that exceptional magic users should use their powers, regardless of how others might judge them for it.
