The power of magic allowed Dwyer Strathan an escape from a life on the streets of Kilkenny, Ireland circa the First World War.

Under the tutelage of Order of Haroth leader Malachi Thorne, Strathan became a powerful sorcerer.

With Thorne’s disappearance after the Second World War, Strathan aligned himself with a demon from Hell.

With this power, he found a compromise with the Order, retaining control of the Los Angeles lodge but doing nothing to subvert the Order’s plans for the Shadowdance.

Strathan has also established a life for himself as a Hollywood bad boy movie star, hiding his use of the supernatural in plain sight.
