I go by many names
My stage name is either Johnny Magic, Amazing John, or John the Magic Man.
But in my real form as a Werewolf my name is Nexus.
Nexus is a very old wolf in human times, who has learned to adapt with humans and use magic to blend in with the human population. I have met many a magic folk such as Merlin, Vergilius Maro, Hecate, Iannes and Mambres, and Faustus.
As I grew along alongside humans, I began to notice that mortals tried to replicate what grand witches and wizards could do. Humans creating ghosts on command, making people vanish, summoning girls, mutilating girls and restoring them. I even saw a magician in egypt chop off the head of a lion and put it back on the beast without harming it. I did a little snooping to see if these mere mortals were actually using magic that surpassed them.
As I snooped about I found that these humans were using trickery with machines, and mirrors. One man fascinated me the most with his knowledge of watch mechanics, I believe his name was Robert Houdin. These humans were labeled magicians. I though to myself and said "I could do that" So I made myself a fake name Buatier Dekolta, I then lived happily until I faked my death in 1903. I have since laid low observing the magic world, and now I am back.
That was just a back story a little more then needed but whatever.
