John "Goldwing" Camber is a griffin who works as a task mage, a freelancer specialising in magic.

Unusually for a magician, John also knows a bit about technology. His technomancy is well-known in magical circles.

Likes: Exploring, Flying, (Computer and Tabletop) Gaming, Magic, Technology.

Dislikes: Being forcefully grounded and any damage to his wings (he tends to get violent towards anyone who does so).

Known spellset: Healing touch, magical blast, mage hand 2.0 (powerful and precise telekinesis) and a strength enhancing enchantment that prevents John from using spells while it's active.

John has personal enchantments active at all times for enhanced toughness and for insulation from heat and cold (which is very useful when you fly as much as he does).

John Camber was a mage's apprentice when he overheard that the mage in question was planning to sell John's soul to a demon at the next Solstice. John couldn't confront his teacher about it to keep from getting killed, so he spent his days learning how to cast spells and enchant objects, and by night he carefully tried to find a way to both keep the demon from taking his soul and his teacher from killing him for botching the deal. And he found it!

John found that most demons will only take a soul that you actually own. Since he didn't sign anything that said that he gave his soul, he just told the demon that the deal was fake when it went down. The demon told John's master "You foolish mage! You sought to cheat me?! Your apprentice invokes our laws correctly, for we take only the souls of the damned and the willing… and the souls of those who would dare cheat us are both! PREPARE TO DIE!"

John's master put up a fight, but in the end, he fell.

That was when the demon calmed down and looked John in the eye, saying "We have a special place in Hell for people who try to sell souls they do not own. I knew you were there the night your master made that deal with me, Mr. Camber. I was going to get a mage-slave either way and I now have a very experienced one, thanks to you. For better or worse, your soul is still your own. Farewell."

When the demon departed, dragging John's master screaming into Hell with her, John immediately implemented the second part of his plan. During his tutelage, John had made contact with several friends in the United States. He informed them that he was coming over and then he made his plans to reach the New World.

John's two most popular services are magical healing (it works when he does it, it costs less than going to a hospital and he doesn't have to tell the police he's doing it) and his bespoke enchanting service. He won't enchant weapons or armour (to avoid being an accomplice) but he will enchant anything else.
