Professor Infinity

Professor Infinity is a Mastigos Seer of the Throne (Mysterium) from Chicago, Illinois.

Overview

Quote: "Of course, I can find the original map, but it will take me a minute to extricate it from the map case. In the meantime, would you mind filling out this brief form? And this one? And this?"

Professor Infinity, as his fellow Seers call him, teaches philosophy and ancient history at the University of Chicago. Though he is relatively young for a full professor, he comes with impeccable credentials.

A transplanted New Englander, the Professor did his undergraduate and graduate work at Yale University. The teaching position at U of C was the first job that "spoke" to him.

When he arrived in Chicago, the already Awakened Seer managed to locate others of his order by visiting various centers for knowledge and science. He encountered Sofia Lex almost immediately, and she indicated that he would be welcome as a member of her pylon. What Professor Infinity did not tell Sofia was that he did not Awaken as a Seer, but as a member of the Mysterium, and that his work in Chicago involved finding out if the Seers knew anything about an item known only as the Celestial Flange.

His life, up to now, has been a carefully constructed deception that he hopes to keep up indefinitely, for discovery can only mean great difficulties for him and hardship for any other true mages with whom he comes in contact. Part of his mind, however, has become attuned to the purposes of the Seers. He has, by association, learned to see the world as they see it, and sometimes, in the wee hours of the morning, he has a vague, uncomfortable feeling that they might be right.

Description

Professor Infinity, otherwise known as Professor Irving Bluefort, is in his late 30s, though he looks a bit older due to his thinning, sandy-colored hair and his wire-rimmed spectacles. He is shy in conversations outside the classroom, but in his own domain, he has a fiery personality that brings life to even the driest of concepts. He dressed in "professorial shabby," wearing clean pants or even jeans, sensible shoes, a button-down short in Oxford cloth and either a pullover sweater or a light jacket, depending on the weather. He stands nearly 6' and weighs a gaunt 165.

His Nimbus is a blend of browns, golds and yellows that surround him. Vulgar magic makes the Nimbus start humming.
