Reverend John Williams is a Celestial Chorus Mage defector from San Francisco who was corrupted by Dr. Himiitsu.
Biography[]
John Williams lacked attention as a boy. Because of his small size, team captains literally overlooked him when picking players for sports. Because of his average ability in academics, teachers paid him neither praise nor concern. He was the middle child in a family of seven.
So he threw himself into religion. Not only was he finally noticed by his pious parents, but he caught the attention of some One even more significant. Whether though divine right or hard work, Joh Williams quickly rose to the rank of bishop and was assigned a diocese in San Francisco. Imagine his pleasure upon discovering that he was being considered for a higher hierarchy - induction into the Celestial Chorus! He has served the One faithfully for 10 years.
Last year, Dr. Himiitsu attempted to transform Williams into a pattern spider. The failed experiment corrupted his body, broke his mind and warped his Avatar. Now, his mind slips between the spirit and material worlds. Though Reverend Williams is still well liked, his associates have begun to wonder about his sanity.
Appearance[]
A small man in his early 50s, with sharp features and wispy white hair. During ceremonies and in public, he appears in full clerical dress, from miter to sanctuary slippers. Beneath these vestments is proof of his corruption: the remnants of Himiitsu's failed experiment. Stiff black hairs cover his torso and the upper portions of each limb. Four vestigial arthropod legs spit from his sides, and dozens of milky, multifaceted eyes cover his chest.
Cabal[]
Reverend Williams broke with the Chorus after his transformation. Now he forms the third major player in Dr. Himiitsu's bid for control.
