The Maniacal Magician - The Trickster of Tricks
Person:
As a young child Arthur Deck was amazed by magic, but unfortunately the dark side. He couldn't care less about card tricks or slight of hand, but if a woman was being cut in half or swords shoved throughout her body, he was all in. Sadly though he always hoped the magician would fail, and thus see a horrific murder. Soon enough he quickly aged and was crushed to find that magic was fake and that the lovely assistance were never in any real danger.
Still he had an odd obsession with the art of prestidigitation as well as oddities leading him to run off and join a traveling circus as soon as he was old enough to run. Shortly thereafter, he learned the ins and outs of the businesses such as acrobatics and knife throwing as well as other useful talents including how to fight. But it was still his love for magic that drove him, almost to the point of dangerous obsession!
Then one day out of the blue, the circus' blind fortune teller told him of a way, or better yet an incantation, that would let him obtain real magic. Unfortunately this spell would call for a human sacrifice. Wasting no time Arthur began casting the spell and at the moment it required a sacrifice, he immediately slit the fortune tellers throat and as he bleed out on the floor, Arthur received the magic he craved, but at a price. He had lost his soul.
He now lives only for his personal gain and pleasure. He takes what he wants and does what he pleases. He is now arrogant with his pride and comes across a bit showy! Clearly self centered in his beliefs.
