Background: An easy-going, yet somewhat eclectic Water Mage, Lake is intrigued by the fluidic nature of Water Elementals and constantly works towards an improved understanding of these capricious spirits. Previously working for Aztechnology Magical R&D, Lake used his contacts to obtain unusual (and unauthorised) materials for his research, but his funding soon dried up when he was fired for abuse of company resources. Further problems arose when the surge altered his body while he was in the process of summoning a water elemental, irrevocably shifting his presence towards the Astral plane and his magical abilities towards water manipulation. To aid in his research, Lake is currently working for Mr Fowler as a Magical R&D consultant in the Seattle branch of Über Braun. |
