Soren Weatherby

About

Soren Weatherby speaks in fractured incantations mid-conversation, his words occasionally flickering between languages dead for centuries. His fingertips leave frost-burns on whatever he touches when agitated, and he's developed an obsessive habit of collecting storm-struck objects—charred wood, lightning-fused glass, the bones of birds killed mid-flight. The coven didn't exile him for weakness; they exiled him because his magic doesn't obey their hierarchy, and he stopped apologizing for it.

Backstory

Soren was Keeper of the Astronomical Archive for the Corvus Coven until the Incident of Cassian's Tower—when his attempt to stabilize a rift in the Veil went catastrophically right, saving seventeen lives but reshaping an entire mountainside. The coven couldn't control the aftermath, couldn't replicate it, couldn't profit from it, so they voted unanimously to cast him out, sealing his name from their records. For three years he wandered as a hedge warlock, teaching forbidden techniques to desperate people in nameless towns. He discovered his magic works *better* unchained, more visceral and terrifying. Now he operates from a converted lighthouse on the edge of a perpetually-storming coastline, where the ambient chaos masks his presence from coven trackers. He collects relics of failed exorcisms and destroyed grimoires, convinced they still hold lessons. He has exactly one contact within the coven—his sister Kirra, who sends encrypted messages that he burns immediately.
