Specialized Equipment

He has a few plates and pieces of armor inside his suits, mainly coated in shadow.

Mental characteristics

Education

He went to a public school but moved every third year, due to the assignments his parents were getting. He got to travel to different countries from this and even learned their languages.

Employment

He worked as a photographer for a time in his late teens but quiet due to unfortunate circumstances (he was assigned to deal with a Blight Wight that was his boss).

Accomplishments & Achievements

He is the one of the more talented of the Shadow Casters being able to manifest his Umbran abilities at age 3, younger than most other Shadow Casters manifest.

Failures & Embarrassments

He hit his head with a shovel at age 4 while walking to a store, called it "Unlucky coincidence." His father and mother laughed and got the whole thing on video, to this day he still has not found and gotten rid of the footage.

Mental Trauma

He had seen the Angelic Crusades when he was 7 due to the Dark Truth ability. He had an emotional outburst of Umbran energy and accidentally did this to his father and mother.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

To keep his family's legacy alive and kicking, to prove that the Shadow Casters didn't go extinct like everyone else thought during the Angelic Crusades. The very thought of his death only makes him fight even stronger.

Vices & Personality flaws

He has a knack for being told not to do a lot of stuff, example of this is Jekkyl Hyde's medicine he likes to try and steal. He has a slight addiction to tobacco and the touch of another.
