== Background == {{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|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 [[The Cursed Apple|New York City]]. }} === Lore === Seven claims he was imprisoned in [[Lost Whisper]] because he "offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos". He says he "doesn't like" murder, but rather is "indifferent" to it.<ref name=":2">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven conversations]]</ref> Seven has done research on the [[Astral Gates]], and he credits [[Dynamo|Professor Dynamo]] as an influence in his work.<ref name=":0">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Dynamo conversation]] ''-'' Seven: ''I'm a fan of your work, Professor. (...) Your research into the Astral Gates paved the way for my own. In my rare moments of doubt, sometimes I even wonder if I would have become the man I am were it not for you.''</ref> Seven's goal of "apotheosis"<ref name=":1">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Viscous conversation]] - Viscous: ''"So what do you do?"'' Seven: ''"Strive for apotheosis."''</ref> means the glorification of a subject to divine level,<ref>[[wikipedia:Apotheosis|Wikipedia article on Apotheosis]] - ''"Apotheosis, also called divinization or deification, is the glorification of a subject to divine levels and, commonly, the treatment of a human being, any other living thing, or an abstract idea in the likeness of a deity."'' </ref> implying that Seven wants to become a god, or gain godlike powers. On the run from the [[OSIC]], Seven currently lives in New York's old subway tunnels. He tells [[Mo & Krill]] he has "particular needs" regarding the creation of new tunnels.<ref name=":2" /> [[The New York Oracle]] reporter [[Minor characters|Allie Kincaid]] is writing a story on Seven.<ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Holliday conversation]] - Holliday: ''"So, how do you know Allie?"'' Seven: ''"You haven't heard? She's writing a story about me."''</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=Newscaster_seasonal_headline_16.mp3|transcription=The Oracle's own Allie Kincaid teases that her next interview will be... electrifying!}}</ref>
