Sorcerer

Henry Barnes - Sorcerer Henry Barnes was born the youngest child of six to a working class English family.

He has procured space in the basement of Dodd Hall, where the philosophy, Classics and Art History departments reside. Henry has a highly developed talent that allows him to feel magick within a person, whether it has manifested itself yet or not. He found Scott during a class he was teaching during Scott's freshman year. Henry offered Scott a job over that summer and they started talking about magick. It was during that summer when Henry also met Natasha, Pete and Carmen, all in the same Intro to the Classics class. Henry’s resonance is the smell of old books.
