Raum

Appearance

Raum is a tall man, being 6'2", but his body build is lean. Even so, it doesn't make him look so bad, since he's practiced in choosing clothes for a smart look, which is his preferred style. He's always choosing the best fabrics, designs and accessories. With so much smugness in his bearing, it creates really dandyish image.

Nimbus

Screams of terror and suffering, as if from the very Pandemonium, are heard around him causing listeners to feel the same pain as his. If his Vice is active, you can even see fire and smoke surrounding him; if it is his Virtue, screams are more of roar of enthusiastic demons.

Biography

Born in Los Angeles as Joshua Hävlik, he was the only child of an industrialist. Pampered and treasured since his birth, he was never a shy child. For that, and for his amazing memory, he was a well liked everywhere he went. Something like "Most popular guy in a high school", if you replaced "everywhere" for "high school". Because he was brought up by his mother as a good Catholic, he grew to think that his mission was to help weak with his best, so he decided to become a lawyer and become quite famous for being incorruptible. In the meantime, in his last high school year his family moved to Las Vegas. Joshua didn't like the city, but endured it in order to go to a good law school. At Stanford he met Trisha, girl who conquered his heart, and they married. After college they returned to Los Angeles suburbs, having already had one child. There, they lived for nearly three years, during which time they had a second child and were happy. Until the fire.

Awakening

The fire, in which he lost what was dearest to him, was the trigger for his Awakening. He lost his wife and children, but he also lost his self-confidence. Wandering through Pandemonium while he was in a month long coma showed him how much anger and brutality was in him and he became frightened. He went through - he did - terrifying things to get to the Watchtower. He was strong, he made it, but he despised himself. It was his Mentor who showed him that sometimes making mistakes and sacrifices are important, so that others wouldn't have to make them later. She was the one to make him who he is. Nevertheless, he couldn't live normally in the City of Angels. He returned to Las Vegas and found other mages, who helped him get set on the Path. With some time, he became even trusted enough to become an Emissary.

Current situation

Raum left Las Vegas for Sacramento not long ago. (On the order from someone? On his own will? Noone - again, really nobody - knows.) Recently he moved to a new apartment and found a job in a rising law office.
