Aiden LaVey
age 18, cishet male
6', pale, handsome, black hair and brown eyes
Background
Aiden is a young scion of the infamous LaVey family. The LaVeys are an old clan, dating back centuries, and while they're numerous and wealthy, they've never achieved the level of influence of the Five Families. Part of the reason for this is that the LaVeys are infernalists, specializing in demon-summoning and dark knowledge; there are even tales that some LaVey ancestor coupled with a demon and the whole bloodline is tainted. Nothing has ever been proven, and the LaVeys seem to be completely human, but the rumors persists. Whatever their origin, they are consummate bargainers, equally quick to chase after wealth, power, and influence. The LaVeys bargain fairly but always stick to the exact letter of agreements, and always seek some advantage.
Aiden is perhaps less ruthless than some of his family, but he's still an ambitious, silver-tongued bargainer, here to advance both his own standing and that of the Family. And if Brakebills offers him a chance to make some useful friends and contacts (business, romantic and otherwise), so much the better.

Perks
- Silver Tongue - You have practiced the ways of sneaking hidden charms and subliminal messages within everyday conversation. Once per session, when you converse with an intelligent creature for at least five minutes, you will learn one useful secret of the GM's choosing about the creature.
- Upper Class - Being of high birth, old money, or otherwise given access to resources beyond the common citizen, you are treated as a benefactor by the lower classes. They will trust and help you in the hopes of being rewarded for their efforts. You are also treated as a peer by those of similar or slightly higher social standing and can typically request an audience with them. In addition, representatives of the law generally assume you to be beyond reproach unless they are presented with compelling evidence to the contrary.
