Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

He prefers the pronouns He/Him. He wishes to not be out in public alot of the time and to be in a library or at home.

Sexuality

He is a gay male who fell in love with Jekkyl Hyde. He died shortly after the wedding. He was still a virgin before meeting Jekkyl Hyde.

Education

He got his education from the private school, Voldin Academy. An ancient school that teaches the secrets of Runic magick as well as the basics to survive the world. He was taught how to inscribe, use, and enchant with runes in the academy. He was given the name "Bookwyrm" by Jekkyl Hyde because of the constant reading Clive had done.

Employment

He worked at a library since he was fourteen and then quit at age eighteen. He then worked as a editor for books, but also accepted a job that The Sect of Sigils gave him. He worked as the Sect's head achivist, a dream job at the time.

Accomplishments & Achievements

He enchanted the coat that Jekkyl Hyde wears. As well as wrote a Binding Spellbook for the runes at age seventeen. The book has been yet to be passed down to anyone and rests in the academy hall.

Failures & Embarrassments

He accidentally turned his arm into a snake and had to wrestle it. His father, Skal Ismael II had to change him back.

Mental Trauma

He went to his grandfather's, Skal Ismael I, funeral. He was teased for his sexuality. He had numerous attempts of threats, death or hate-mail, sent to his door. He had stones thrown at him in the academy and hates going back there because of it. As a child he was put throught experimentations by the Sect, that caused his hair to turn a deep red and his skin to be pale as a ghost. These experimentations are also what caused a wedge between him and his loved ones, only talking to them at mealtimes and at special gatherings.

Morality & Philosophy

You want to know why I don't talk to my family Jekkyl? It's because of what they did to me. You see the tattoo on my wrist, this is the symbol of their blind faith, this is the symbol that they branded me with. I hate them for this and I will always hate them for this, I thought I could trust them but all I thought was wrong. This symbol that is on my flesh is something even I can not fix. Jekkyl, it's been a day why don't we go back home?
