(50) Background: The classic pulp stories of old, as one would expect, were almost exclusively written by those who had little experience in the worldly matters that permiated the numerous serialized stories. One notable exception was the tales of Aleister Michaels. Instead of merely playing upon his imagination, Aleister was a globe-troting aristocrat from England from an established but comparitively poor family, his father having gambled his money away in risky buisness ventures in the late 1800's and early 1900's. To support the lifestyle that he felt due to him, Aleister turned to what he called "souvenier hunting," or if you want to be technical, theivery in the form of fine artifacts. He decided to play upon the current craze for Egyptian and other ancient civilizations to help feed his own rich tastes, and took it upon himself to... satisfy the needs of the public. A natural athlete with an uncanny lucky streak, Aleister soon found that he was quite good at his chosen "hobby" and started to take his trade more seriously. The more serious the venture, he found, the more cash came into his posession, and push come to shove, Aleister soon found himself wrapped up in more than he expected. In a scenario that would shame the mighty whip-weilding, fedora-toting master himself, Aleister was neck deep in secret societies worshipping Great Old Ones, fascist "visionaries" seeking ultimate power, and legitimate scientist that would dare actually seek such artifacts merely for the knowledge (how DARE they). Suffice it to say, Alesiter saw the opportunity, and proceeded to start logging his exploits and submitting them to various pulp magazines in the guise of fiction, hoping to not only make a quick buck, but play up his own ego as well. This continued on for a few years, and his series was one of the most popular during its time... then it suddenly ended. His last story told of his venture to a temple in the ruins of ancient Athens, and no more stories were received. Seems that upon entering said temple, he made the mistake of barging into a ceremony for the ancient Greek god Hermes, and the resulting ritual was an attempt to open a gateway to "The Realm of the Gods." The cultists thought it was Olympus they were reaching out towards, but in fact it was a portal to Khazan that was opened. With a shrug and a wink, Aleister leaped into the portal as the cultists watched in awe, eager to venture into this new world for new adventures to experience and riches to exploit. Unfortunately for him Khazan isn't prime territory for such acts, with its heroes and and all that jazz. After his first attempt to resume his heists was foiled by a few of the Sentinels, Aleister figured that it was best to clean up his act. The pay might not be as great, but the glory for fighting evil would make up for it. Besides, he had plenty of cash saved from his past exploits, and this being the Nexus of All Realities, they accept all forms of payment here... Character Personality
