Aleister Smythe

Aleister Smythe is a member of the Fraternity of Shadows and the avatar of real-life Fraternity member Rock. He was first introduced in Quoth the Raven Issue 29.

Background

Aleister was born into a family already strongly involved with the Fraternity of Shadows. His father practically forced him to join the secret society, when Aleister would have preferred to become an artist, a professional scribe or even a Warlock of Hala.

Aleister did not enjoy his time in the Fraternity. Due to a relative's conniving, his career was sidelined and he was reduced to running messages all across the Core for superior Brothers, as well as performing fact-checking and verification tests for others' research. As a result, he at least became a practised horseman and sailor.
