Inficiunti

Multi-Order

The Stained are an ecstatic group of multi-Order mages who claim a heritage that stretches back to the Picts. There are druids, witches, faerie seers and shamans among their number, and they are known by their blue tattoos. In the rare instances when the Inficiunti can be found in London, they hold as their public sanctum a residence overlooking Hyde Park in West London. Their influence has been sufficient to keep the park from being openly lit at night, providing its acres for their use.

Members

• Ash, Thyrsus, Guardian of the Veil. A tall, older man with a long white beard, Ash's face is marked with spiraling blue tattoos. Fortunately, he is also a master of shapeshifting magics, capable of remaking himself or others entirely. He claims to be in communion with the spirits of an ancient Pictish barrow-grave, which serves him as a Hallow somewhere in northern England.

• Heron, Thyrsus, Mysterium. Heron is an initiate into the Dreamspeakers legacy, an ancient order of shamans and dreamers. His wisdom is odd, like that from a dream, and he tends to be taken for a gypsy or other vagabond when seen on the street, thanks to his long matted black hair and bright colored garb. He is practiced in the supposed "crane magic" of the druids — standing on one leg and closing one eye to focus his reality down to a pinpoint concentration, with his target at the center of that world.
