Apprentice of Fate, Life, Prime, and Spirit, Talon in the Adamantine Arrow, member of the Fist of Talos
Background: Robert Hope grew up in northern Ontario, dividing his time between bush parties and hunting until his 18th birthday. He was an expert outdoorsman, but didn’t think much of it, since he was only a bit better than his friends. Given a choice between trapping, mining and the Canadian Forces, he chose the CF. Unfortunately that was after September 11th, 2001, so he was destined to serve in Afghanistan. Two years later, a car bomb blew shrapnel into his spine and knocked him into a coma — and Awakening.
He returned to the living world four months later, but the time hadn’t passed in a flash. He’d spent that time wandering the Thyrsus Watchtower, tracking animals, spirits and plants that represented parts of his broken body. He surprised everyone by waking up whole and able to walk; tests couldn’t even find the shrapnel. They still discharged him, so he set off for home.
The order recruited him on his way back north by Quick and Valkyrie. Now he has joined Colt in the Circle of Four. He has also joined a cabal: the Fist of Talos.
Description: Robert is a stocky man. He’s got short, powerful arms and legs, a bit of a gut, long, curly wiry hair, a bushy goatee and a practical style: flannel when it’s cold, denim when it’s warm. He carries a shotgun when he can get away with it. His movements don’t betray his old wounds, but scars on his arms, legs and back do.
His nimbus is a white light with dark blue and green shapes, like the moon shining through a thick stand of trees.
