Dominus of Great Lakes Region, Master of the Arcanum of Spirit
Background: Midas's past is quite murky. He Awakened and was recruited by the Seers of the Throne sometime in the 60s. He had abnormal potential and quickly rose to power by virtue of his ruthlessness and skill in the Spirit arcanum. Though he had no hand in the starting the Mage War he did work to take advantage of it, even involving a superior in the brutal struggle. When his superior died he was able to take his place as Dominus.
A decade later and he began a war with the Pentacle, maneuvering the other Seer ministries into battle. Though they were successful in killing many mages, ultimately this destroyed much of the Panopticon's leadership. It is possible this was in fact always his plan.
It is now known he arranged for Merlin to be Adele's familiar and for Anna to be mentally warped. It is also known to Adele that Midas is her father.
He also replaced Norna's dead mother.
He claimed to be working to save the city but the sacrifices he was willing to make are great. He was unpopular with the Seers of the Throne and many seek to unseat him. But his greatest threat was Athaliah who seemed destined to kill him. To save the spirit world, he left the city and abandoned his position. Now he wanders as a Apostate.
Description: Midas resembles a sumo wrestler. He stands over six feet tall and weights over 400 pounds. He keeps his hair in a half-inch crew cut. At work, he wears a steel-gray sports jacket, which has been custom-tailored to his massive physique. Though in his seventies he has the features of a much younger man.
