Magnus Colgrave

A player character in SWADE Hellboy PBP.

Consulting field agent on permanent retainer. An expert investigator, talented academic dabbler and amateur heavyweight prizefighter, co-habited by a pre-human ENTITY of great power.

Tall, dark and handsome; a bit of a dork.

In his own time he runs a private agency specializing in supernatural cases and pro bono work (largely enabled by his paid work for the Bureau).

Gear

On person (16 lbs)

• A handcrafted jacket of heavy brown leather, patinaed almost black. Flames climbing up both sleeves and a burning skull on the back are artfully embossed in gold foil. Closer examination would reveal several cuts and bullet holes repaired with great skill and care. A B.P.R.D. cloth badge is velcroed onto the left arm. (Armor +2, 8 lbs.)
• An everchanging selection of minor magical trinkets, charms, amulets and talismans of every description, many worn as jewelry and more floating around every pocket. None are of any real value in their own right, but collectively they channel the ENTITY's power into a strong mystical ward. (Environmental Resistance "device", 1 lb.)
