Here's what was previously posted about Osborn Scamander.


Osborn Scamander Adventure Hooks

1. Professional – Osborn works for the Cultural Center in Nexus New York. He coordinates with various magical agencies and museums for exhibits for the center.

2. Professional – Osborn is a noted Egyptologist in both the magical and the mundane worlds. He has connections with the British Museum, the Egyptian Mage Authority and the Egyptian Council on Antiquities.

3. Personal – Osborn represents the Scamander family at all the big events in the magical world. While not an oldblood family, the Scamander family is an established mageblood family.

4. Personal – The Scamander family is not large, but they have managed to be quite dispersed. He has close family in London and Seattle, as well as extended family in several other cities. They are all in mage society.

5. Professional – There are people within the magical world that resent the fact that Egyptian artifacts are taken out of Egypt and placed in private collections and museums. They hold Osborn as one of the people responsible.

6. Personal – Osborn employs two servants, Godfrey as his butler and Claudia Stevens as a maid. While they are not family, he still cares for their wellbeing. Godfrey is a mageborn of moderate talent that likes to frequent clubs and dance halls with all male clientele. His choice in men is not always the best of choices. Claudia is a newblood of moderate talent that wants to expand her abilities as far as possible. She is not irresponsible but she could get involved in something over her head.

Osborn is a large man, weighing in at over 200 kilograms (about 450 lbs.) and he stands about 1.86m (6'1") tall. He is 42 years old. When he started going bald in his twenties, he started shaving his head.

Like his build, Osborn dresses a little out of style. He has a more Victorian look to clothes.

He works for the Cultural Center in Nexus New York, organizing exhibits of artifacts and relics from around the world. His specialty is Egyptian history and artifacts. He has connections with the British Museum as well as the Egyptian Council on Antiquities. He is also known as a subject matter expert in the mundane world and he has been called on by the Concilium to check and see if a recently discovered artifact has any magical powers.

There are elements within Egyptian Mage society and mundane society that are resistant to the export of the Egyptian artifacts from Egyptian soil. As Osborn is a prominent figure he has received trouble on both fronts.

Quentin Godfrey, butler, 54yrs old. mage-blood.

Godfrey has work at the Scamander house for over three decades. He is a moderate talent when it comes to magic and a very good butler. He has a well-groomed mustache and male pattern baldness. He likes his men to be handsome and young, which has led to the occasional problem when the young men take advantage of the romantic, yet gullible old man. Osborn knows about his habits but it doesn't bother him as long as the young men don't steal anything from the house.

He is efficient, polite, and romantic.

Claudia Stevens, 28 yrs old, maid, newblood.

Miss Stevens has been in the employ of Mr Scamander for a few years. She has a moderate talent for wizardry but she would like to do more. She can often be found, when not working, studying new spells or researching magical theories. The drive is there but the talent is not. She is not a fool but a promise of knowledge or power could lead her into trouble.

Miss Stevens is just shy of 5'6", with a slender figure. She has shoulder length auburn hair, worn up in a tight bun when she is working and in a stylish coif when off duty. She really enjoys being a wizard and spends most of her free time with the Nexus. She is friendly, curious, and ambitious.
