Character bios

This is a work in progress, never to be completed....









Dr. Magnus Mortuis is an enigma, even to those who know him best, his past as dark and impenetrable as the forbidding black hood that enshrouds his face.

Sorcerer, alchemist, surgeon and swordsman, Mortuis lives in the no-man's-land between humanity and the supernatural, yet belongs wholly to neither. Rogue supernaturals know him as Hellsbane, and humanity knows him not at all, save as the eccentric host of a television show, The Torture Chamber of Dr. Mortuis. With knowledge and will, sorcery and steel, and the help of a group of loyal allies on both sides of the conflict, Mortuis fights for a future where humans and supernaturals can coexist in peace.


Mortuis is written by Mortuis. (Who didn't see that coming?)

John Stone was roistering in the tavern, cards in his hand and a girl on his knee when word came that his wife was dying and asking for him. "Let be, I'll finish this hand," he said.

When he returned home hours later, his wife was long dead, her brother sitting by her bedside holding her cold hand. He turned to Jack as he  entered, cold fire in his eye. "Hear me, man of stone. Since you have refused to comfort the dying, from henceforth you will succor the dead.  You will see the dead, hear their voices, and help those who desire it to go on to their rest. So long as a single unquiet spirit remains bound to this world, you yourself cannot die. This is your doom, John Stone."

From that day to this, Jack Stone has walked the earth, doomed to help the dead to their rest, knowing none himself…..


Jack is written by Mortuis.

Born to a purebred Nest of French Gargoyles, Re'mi had the audacity to fall in love with a human. Neither family approved and they were forced apart. Heart-broken, his melancholy music had many believing his cathedral home was haunted. Almost a century later, those same eerie melodies, and stories of a cursed love, drew a wandering Gargoyle. Re'mi turned his back on a home he could no longer bear and followed his new friend.

Tall, lean, and dark-maned in his human form, his admirers always found him distant. His heart, he would explain, belonged to his childhood sweetheart. He vowed to find where her body was lain to rest, and there end his days.

Re'mi took the name Bloodstone, leaving his real name for those he trusted not to speak it in public. All others he calls friend, use the name Stoney.

And Nick will be more than happy to send them on their way.
