Whitley Styles

Michael Daemon Donighal came to prominence in the age of Adventure! as the young protege of Maxwell Anderson Mercer and the chronicler for the Aeon Society for Gentlemen.

Born early in the 20th century, Whitley's childhood was cut short when the Thuggee kidnapped his family and killed his mother. His father, Roger Styles wanted to buy a sculpture of Kali... all he managed to do was offend the Thuggee cult and end up in their custody. For ten years the cult prepared the young Styles to join them as one of the strangling hands of Kali. Finnaly young Whitney challanged and killed his father in ritualistic combat, becoming one of the Thuggee.

In 1918 Maxwell Mercer rescued the young man from the Thuggee cult and helped him turn into a well adjusted individual. Renouncing his Thuggee legacy and gaining a enemy in the cult leader Paruq. However Uriah Stafford, his father's partner had taken control of his company and contested the younger Styles claim to his share. During the long judicial war with Stafford, Styles refused Maxwell's monetary help and worked many menial jobs, mingling with th lower classes, which suited his character well.

When his friend Maxwell Mercer and Michael Daemon Donighal came to him about forming the Aeon Society For Gentlemen he became one of the founding members.
