Motto: "Those who aren't susceptible to sin are those who are dead."

Quotes: "Our father is supposed to be our models for God, are they not? My father abandoned me when I was very young. I met him when I was fifteen and he asked for my help. I refused, of course, because my altruism is wasted on someone who I don't know. He died of an overdose weeks later. Perhaps that says something. I am God's abandoned child...a demon to toss into the lake of fire."

"Let me say this so that it is very, very clear to you: you, contrary to your very obnoxious belief, are my puppet. Everything you have done has been by my will and by my doing. You're not a spanner in my works, nor are you the one to unmake me. You are predictable, you are easily manipulated, you are thrown away. Now, the police will be here shortly. In less than twenty four hours, my company's funds will be restored to the bank account and you will be incarcerated. Don't look so down. It's time to celebrate. You won't have to endure the terrors of prison, I've already made sure that the Judge will give you the death penalty."

"Side with the Seers of the Throne? Proposterous. They seek the total control of reality, and humanity's divine soul is not to be conquered. Even the will of the Gods above, even the Anima Mundi or the Oracles themselves will not interfere in the will of man. It is the way of the Supernal World, and as above, so below. If the Seers seek to unravel that, to control that...recklessness, thy name is Unity."

"Perhaps you wonder why my actions are more or less moral. Just understand that I find no practicality in villainy. After all, just taking everything for yourself and disregarding everyone is, in the long run, harmful to yourself. While I lack empathy, I respect the practical applications it has among the human race, and how it has helped us band together and fight the darkness around us. I am a mage so I can change the world, not ruin it by taking it all for myself. I am rich, intelligent, and highly talented. Every intellectual persuit is within my grasp. I have everything I could possibly need now. Perhaps you'd call me an idealist, but to that I'd remind you that our very power revolves around making idealism reality."

Occupations: CEO of Skarsgard Enterprises

Origin: Oliver Skarsgard was born in Jersey City, New Jersey to Margaret Skarsgard and Viktor Skarsgard. The Skarsgard Family is relatively old money, who run a technology company now centered in Boston. Oliver is the heir to this company. Oliver's father, Viktor, had left him when he was young for reasons unknown. A nation wide search had been conducted for the CEO of Skarsgard Enterprises, but after years, the search was given up and rights to the company had been given to Margaret. When Oliver was older, Viktor had appeared to him through a mirror, asking the child for help, but Oliver, with his inability to feel empathy, did not help his father. Viktor Skarsgard was found dead a few years later, with cuts along his arms and legs as if he were dragged along brambles. When Oliver was twenty, he'd awakened to his power as a mage. By the time he was twenty five, he was a prominent figure in Boston in both mortal and mage society.
