Ozymandias Cody

Ozymandias Cody is an Awakened mage and an architect.

Overview
Cody began having strange dreams in early 1996, dreams which prompted him to make drawings he didn't understand. He showed these drawings to his friend Card Farrel, who then invited him to a party in Las Vegas. Unbeknowst to Cody, Farrel was a mage, and they party was attacked by a Nephandus named Reginald Wojcik. Cody escaped with the help of his Avatar and Zydeco Jones, an ally of Farrel, but Farrel himself was killed.

Jones introduced him to the other members of Farrel's cabal, Petrus and Dr. Priya Ganesh, who explained that they were hunting Wojcik on behalf of the Order of Hermes. Cody joined the cabal, taking over Farrel's role as Jones' back-up, but chose not to reveal anything to his wife Morgan. The strain this caused on his personal life eventually lead him to leave the cabal.

After the Week of Nightmares and the Avatar Storm, Petrus and Dr. Ganesh disappeared, leaving Jones alone. She and Cody resumed hunting Nephandi, in memory of Farrel, though this time Cody introduced Jones to Morgan and presumably told her something of what he was going.
