Jonathan Shroudmark

About

Every antique key in Shroudmark's collection represents a life extinguished, a trophy meticulously polished and cataloged with surgical precision. Beneath his impeccable veneer of scholarly calm lurks a predator who views human connections as mere mechanical puzzles to be systematically dismantled and discarded.

Backstory

The forbidden grimoire Jonathan discovered in his grandfather's locked study revealed a family secret far darker than academic ambition: generations of Shroudmarks had been shadow archivists for an ancient cult that preserved forbidden magical knowledge. When university administrators tried to suppress his groundbreaking research on interdimensional energy transfer, Jonathan realized the academic world would never recognize true intellectual genius—and that suppression would become his weapon. Meticulously documenting every institutional betrayal, he began constructing an intricate network of blackmail and manipulation, transforming his initial scholarly rage into a calculated strategy of systemic destruction. His brilliant mind, once constrained by academic protocols, now burned with a cold determination to dismantle the very institutions that had marginalized him, viewing each calculated move as both personal vengeance and intellectual performance art.
