Backstory
Harper Graywood was conceived during a drug addled concert in the early 1960’s. Technically he was too young to remember most of the 60’s, but a lot of that make-love-not-war hippy mentality stuck with him anyways. Especially his love of groovy herb and other mind altering substances.

When he Awakened into his power, he was alone. He had nobody to teach him, and so he muddled through it as best he could. An Orphan to the greater world of Mage, he secluded himself in Colorado to study.

What he came up with was a deep attachment to the archetypical wizard. The gray wanderer. Gandalf. Odin. Figures like that inspired him, so he took it to heart and it became a part of his identity.

Now he wanders just as the archetype he portrays. He came to LA at random, making friends with some ghosts in a small cemetery there. Technically homeless, he often slept in a broken down mausoleum that Timmy, a child spirit showed him. Then his friend Orion tried to trace a mysterious holographic warning and brought them to the attention of the Technocracy.

Fleeing the cemetery, Graywood and Orion (The Odd Couple) reached out to local mages for help. They borrowed money and have been staying in a hotel, repairing Orion's damaged sentient computer.
