Born into a family of affluence and magical influence, Allen Hawthorne grew disenchanted with the hypocrisy and deceit prevalent among his kin. Fed up with the facades and falseness, he embraced rebellion, metamorphosing into the family's black sheep, the bad seed. Behind his mesmerizing good looks and intelligent demeanor lay a deceptive soul, exploiting his charm to manipulate and deceive those who couldn't see beyond his beguiling facade.

With his big, bewitching blue eyes, Allen proved a master of illusion, concealing his true motives with an enigmatic allure. Engulfed in the clandestine world of illegal magical wonders and trinkets, he wielded the power of his heritage to procure rare artifacts. These he used either to defy the Technocracy and save them from their clutches or to sell to the highest bidder, dancing dangerously on the edge of law and morality. Allen's journey was a high-stakes gamble, his fate entwined with the volatile trade he navigated, torn between redemption and the pursuit of his own desires in a treacherous dance of shadows and secrets.❧
