Angrboda

Angrboda is an infamous Scelestus who famously slew the Tetrarch of the Ministry of Geryon. He has a long-standing rivalry with Morvran of the Boston Consilium.

History

Once upon a time, there was a Seer Ministry called Geryon. Devoted to misdirection and deception, it attacked a Norwegian cabal for openly promoting its fusion of Nordic paganism and Atlantean mysticism. Its assassins took the faces of Islamic radicals to both eliminate their enemy and cultivate fear and doubt among Sleepers as part of the general Seer agenda. One sorcerer survived—he’d been traveling at the time of the attack. Sifting through the minds of police investigators, the Mastigos Einar saw a discarded knife with a strange sigil^[1].

He followed that clue to others and begged other cabals for help. They refused—Einar’s cabal paid the price for revealing itself. He went it alone until, reaching a dead end that could not be circumvented by investigation, sorcery or torture, he went to a cursed place and demanded that its resident acamoth provide the means to track his enemies. Without words, the entity made it known: I will give you that and more. I am lonely. For every brother you call to me, you will be rewarded.

So Einar summoned gulmoth: entities from the Abyss that normally manifested after Paradoxes. He freed other acamoth. Each time, he learned a little more about the Ministry of Geryon. He learned how to use the Abyss to enhance his Arts. Every “brother” he called demanded a new fleshly experience in return: starvation, disease, castration. He became their willing proxy. They rewarded him.

He called himself Angrboda at the end of his quest, after killing everyone in the Ministry. As a hundred Void-born beings converged on the Minister, the Scelestus screamed and screamed, but couldn’t say whether it was out of terror or joy.

Later, he remembered Pentacle sorcerers who spurned him. He looks forward to screaming again.

Current Status

Angrboda is currently clashing with Morvran of the Boston Consilium over a newly-Awakened mage that Angrboda has intuited will one day become his Bane^[2].

He has also been researching the Secret Concord of the Boston Consilium, and claims to have uncovered the identity of one of the signatories: the Prince of 100,000 Leaves^[3].

Angrboda has also been operating in Chicago, ostensibly in search of the Celestial Flange.
