Living family members: mother, parental grandfather, maternal grandparents, two younger sisters, maternal uncle;
Deceased family members: father, paternal grandmother, paternal aunt&uncle (twins), older brother, youngest sister;
The paternal grandmother sacrificed the youngest daughter to attempt to resurrect her dead son; was killed under a death order by the mother;
The parental aunt & uncle supposedly committed suicide although the circumstances were odd;
The older brother was imprisoned for illegal sacrifice and subsequently killed by a vampire, a fellow inmate.
The father died of witch sickness at an old age.
Basic witch/warlock powers:
-Magic detection, i.e. the ability to sense the presence of magic in one's vicinity: fairly good.
-Potioncraft: enhancing potions (fairly good), poison (experienced), healing potions (basic knowledge; minor wounds & antidotes).
-Spellcraft: owns a tattered spellbook riddled with incantations, most of which he is unfamiliar with, or requires an interpreter, for he only speaks Latin, and barely. Spells he excels at: Preservation Spell, Restoration Spell, Banishing Spell, Sleep Spell, Pyrokinesis Spell (Igneme accende.)
-Summoning: one of his sisters is an expert in the field, but ever since she summoned a demon that latched onto her and is slowly consuming her mind, Matty has been reluctant to summon even a black kitten.
-Contacting the dead: he is able to do it though ancestral magic, but refuses to have any attachments to the afterlife.
Raw power: Mathian emanates a raw, destructive energy which draws ancestral power, but weakens once he falls out of their favor. The ancestral line is the energy’s outlet, it moves like a current through each family member, but it manifests differently in each. In Matty’s case, it is very raw, bordering on primitive, at first glance it appears in the form of energy blasts and combustion. He relies on enhancement spells and potions to power it further and aid it in achieving a more solid manifestation, whatever that might be.
Brief history: Mathian’s never been independent, prior to his elder brother’s sudden demise and his youngest sister’s vicious murder. He once firmly believed in ancestral magic; in fact, he worshipped it. Not one other Brummit knew the body and soul of over thirty-odd Brummits who have long been buried. Mathian spoke their names each night before bed and once more at dawn. But he has now outgrown such, per his word choice, infantile beliefs. The Brummits had shown him who they truly were, so Matty decided he did not want to be one anymore. And so it was the last five years. Since then, he’s joined the militia in pursuit of his own agenda, but he’s come to like the diversity among them.
Personality-wise, he’s learned he has to be self-assured and borderline cocky to stay relevant, so he can sometimes be quite overwhelming. He is naturally cunning, as befitting the witches, and clever, but he lacks overall sympathy and people skills. He prefers hiding behind sarcasm, though sometimes poorly executed, and poking fun at people. He believes he holds unlimited power within himself, he just needs to come up with a way to hack his ancestral line and claim all of it. He is not afraid to steal or use any underhanded means to get what he wants; he bends the rules as much as he can, but he does not put himself in danger for anyone. He used to idealize his elder brother who was as determined as a person can be. His favorite, though, was his youngest, brutally murdered sister, who, according to Mathian, was the strongest witch the Brummit family had ever produced.
