Prologue:
47 years ago a great dark lord was defeated… his name Adolf Hitler to the mundanei but to the magical world he was known as Acheron: The Angel of Death. Most didn’t realize they were one and them same person but they were. Little known to anyone else in either worlds Acheron had taken an apprentice one, Kiran Ryder who called himself The Mori~Gurtha.
The Mori~Gurtha pulled in the people he trusted most and named them Katariin and marked them on their right shoulder blade with his personal mark the zerkataan which depicts a coiled dragon with a large sword held up in a clawed hand. He set the Katariin to collecting weapons, artifacts and books of power. He performed rituals of all types; good, evil, and neutral as well as dedicated to many different gods to make himself magically and physically stronger and more powerful. Now the man that had defeated Acheron had becomes the worlds darling given titles and awards and his choice of coveted jobs even to being a special advisor to the Director of Magical Affairs and he’d warned the magical world that these actions on the Mori~Gurtha’s part made him evil more evil than even Acheron was.
Mori~Gurtha over the intervening years had tried to have many different policies put through the government to help improve and protect the magical world but they were blocked at every turn by the man that had killed his former master Reginald Von Pelt the defeater of Acheron.
Now no one knows why but late on All Hallows Eve the Mori~Gurtha and several of his followers went to the home of Keldrick Rutherford everyone disappeared except for 2 year old Kaspian. No bodies were ever found for either of his parents, Keldrick or Dahlia and the only thing found of the Mori~Gurtha was his wand and robes.
The Rutherford’s will was activated but someone high in the Bureau blocked it and that lone survivor that poor solitary child-that-survived was sent to live with his mother’s cousin Peggy and her family. This family so concerned with appearances and their standing in the ever so perfectly normal community forced him to address them as aunt and uncle.
Peggy and Ralph Durward wanted nothing to do with what they secretively referred to as that abnormal and freakish part of her family and were horrified to wake up and find her cousin Dahlia’s child left on their doorstep.
