Jason Champlain

Jason "Tycho" Champlain is a Iron Master Ithaeur member of the Silver Syndicate Pack in Colorado.

Background

"Tycho," born Jason Champlain, was born to a military family, and traveled the world. His grandfather gave him a telescope as a Hanukkah present. Unable to make long-term friends, he spent many nights on the roof of his house, sitting with a telescope, charting the stars. He studied astronomy in college at Caltech and was working on his doctorate when his First Change interrupted his studies. Unlike many First Changes, it was bloodless. He was alone in the Palomar Observatory watching the crescent moon through the telescope. It was something he had done a thousand times, but this time the miraculous occurred. He slipped sideways into the spirit world, and was overwhelmed with haunting visions of great chains beyond the stars. He believes he was granted a very specific vision, one hinting at things like the idigam that remain bound in the dark vaults of the sky. The secret doors must be found once again, and their locks secured so that no wayward explorer finds them.

Jason dedicated himself to Luna and swore he would find those hidden domains in the spirit world. The necessities of life intruded, however. He found himself in Roman's pack, and his desire to search the heavens (spiritual and otherwise) for these lost prisons was ignored when Roman's crusades called. He loves Roman like a brother and packmate, but was relieved when the pack settled down in Denver after the war. Since then, he has dedicated himself to the quest Luna gave him as a young man. He keeps his distance from Roman, almost afraid to let his pack-brother's powerful charisma sweep him up into another adventure away from his orrery in the Argentum Building. He was grateful that Subtle Storm joined the pack after the War for Denver, and that the young and hungry Ithaeur was willing to step up while Jason watches the heavens.

Jason dresses like a graduate student, often wearing the same clothes for a couple of days because he's been spending all of his time in the orrery. He shaves only when he remembers to, and he keeps his hair in a ponytail.

When activated, his Spirit Sextant gives the user a +4 modifier for the purposes of navigation in the Shadow, and allows him to always be able to retrace his steps to a starting point.
