THE "NATURAL"

When he was a child, his parents figured out that he was a Natural (I.e., a child with psychic and magical abilities more powerful than those of an Arch-Mage, needing no training but benefiting therefrom). He trained with an Order of magician-priests, in order to learn the disciplines by which he could control the raging forces inside of him. However, he was uninterested in devoting his life to the Order, so he has very recently moved on. He is too powerful to be a main character, but will make a good catalyst character, e.g., by discovering the conspiracy as discussed below.

POSSIBLE SUBPLOTS : 1. his parents might have given him up to the Order, hoping that they would know how to take care of him. 2. Early on, he might have ripped men to shreds with his mind, after his compulsive and surreptitious inspections of people's souls revealed great evil in those being probed. 3. The first man he shredded was an uncle with perverted intentions, when the boy was only seven years old. In this subplot scenario, giving the boy up to the powerful Order might have been the only way to save the boy's life from vigilantes.

As a man, he is virtuous to a fault, and plain-spoken because he fears no one and nothing. He is even gentle, because he wants to be, and because none dare confuse his gentleness with weakness. Many people avoid him like the plague, fearing his wrath should he dislike what he sees in them.

In the future, when his fame grows and he matures, he will be named to some important position, for example, as an advisor to a ruler, or to the Circle of Circles, (I.e., the alliance of Public Circles and other public magical Orders, Covens, and the like). In his new position, he will uncover the conspiracy that will bring a great evil to the land, kicking off the main action of the story.
