Michael Scot is a Master Mage of House Ex Miscellanea of the Order of Hermes in Edinburgh, Scotland and Master of the Auld Covenant.
Background
Michael Scot's disappearance was due to a huge paradox backlash caused when he tried to permanently sever the ties between an unknown Nephandi and Lord Soulis' body. He nearly went insane out of loneliness, but found that his curse also gave him unbounded freedom. He helped his old chantry route the Technocracy's attempts to set up shop in his beloved Edinburgh, and he got a lot of studying done. Eventually he became an archmage and now spends most of his time in the Deep Umbra, although he has set up wards around Scotland and the chantry to alert him to dangers. He has only come back once. The poor Qui La Machinae, it didn't last long where Michael Scot sent it.
According to the Auld Covenant, Scot is still its master. His room in the chantry is still maintained. When the elders of the cabal meet, the reserve three chairs: one for the Master of the Euthanatos, one for the Master Hermetic and the last for Michael Scot.
Image
Michael Scot hasn't been seen for several hundred years as a result of his terribly high Arcane rating, and his numerous jaunts into the Deep Umbra. When last he looked in the mirror he was dressed in long green and black velvet robes. He has a round face, sparse, gray hair, and extremely bushy eyebrows. Michael Scot needs three successes on a Willpower roll, difficulty 8, to make himself be noticed. If one of these successes is not a "10" his words will eventually be forgotten.
Personal
Let's face it, Michael has got better things to do than chat with unperceptive upstart mages, unless something bad is brewing in the Umbra.
