Solomon Janowitz
From Gothpoodle
Adept Warlock
Solomon works at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital at the UCSF. Nancy Paulsen is his apprentice and Purple Haze is his familiar. He possesses the Crystal Cave underneath his house in Cole Valley.
Description
A serious-looking Caucasian man in his early 40s with black hair graying at the temples, mustache and goatee, dark brown eyes, and a ruddy complexion. He wears navy blue button-up sweaters over white dress shirts, navy blue wool slacks, and brown loafers. He wears a light gray trenchcoat and Rex Harrison hat when outdoors.
Storytelling Hints
Solomon has dedicated his life to using his abilities to help people. He has practically no social life, spending most of his free time studying medicine and magic. He is uninvolved in mage politics, but not unaware of it, and is often used as a counselor for the newly Awakened or to help people who have been damaged by magic. He hates those who abuse their magic to take advantage of people and is painfully aware of the prejudices towards the sort of magic be practices. He has a love of fine food and wine and is a masterful cook.
