Biography
Born into the legacy of “The Tenth” which is one of the oldest founding magical families with this incredible burden he has been under pressure from the moment of his birth. This was compounded by the fact that his powers did not manifest until he was aged ten, in a violent explosion tied to his feelings of anger. Because it took so long for his powers to manifest he was estranged from his father for most of his life [Excellence #1, 2019].
It did not help that his father doubted his paternity and even took Aaron Mills as his protégé. After his manifestation he was put through the gauntlet as he was humbled and humiliated by Magicians younger than he was [Excellence #1, 2019].
At age fifteen he finally completed his training. Spencer was very close to his grandmother GG who gave him advice on how to pass his “test” [Excellence #1, 2019]. GG’s advice proved the decisive factor and he passed his test and finally shared an emotional moment with his father. Soon after however they were at odds again when GG became ill and he wanted his father to use magic to save her [Excellence #1, 2019].
When his father refused he decided to break into the ozymandias and steal a healing item. To do this he knocked Brother Neely unconscious and used his wand to break into the secure wing of the column, vault #6871 [Excellence #2, 2019]. Once inside he was confronted by Aaron who tried to talk him out of stealing the healing item but they were confronted by an overseer. Aaron was tortured before him to prove a point. Defeated by the Overseer he was stripped of his magic and humbled [Excellence #2, 2019]. After begging to have his powers restored it was granted. Four years later he again confronts the Overseer despite his promise years before [Excellence #2, 2019].
