Appearance
- A middle-aged man that can be very much described as angular because of all the sharp edges in his face and silhouette;
- Tall, wide-shoulders, but often hunched over,
- His once handsome face, now tired and sunken;
- Scarred, one leg with a limp;
- Fashion? Expensive. Futuristic;
Personality
- Sarcastic Glaswegian;
- Painfully honest;
- Morbid sense of humour;
- Fatherlike for younger people;
- Loyal to people he cares about;
- Patient, but within a limit;
- Has a nasty hyena-like laugh he uses when faced with absurdity;
- Born in Glasgow to a working-class parents who both died in workplace accidents, became an orphan when he was 10, his birth name was Ian Blair;
- The boy spent his time at the orphanage studying hard and showing promise in mechanics, but as the time shown, someone of his heritage wouldn't really go far, making him a prime recruit for the army;
- From the army, young Ian was pushed into Secret Service, where he worked as a Cold War spy, mostly doing his best to steal intel about Soviet weaponry;
- Discharged at the age of 25 due to injury to the leg, declined desk job and instead focused on education. Changed name to Samiel Blackfeather;
- At the age of 28 founded a computer company called Feathercorp, where he put all of his work and knowledge in electronics, that's also when he met a Russian immigrant, Natalya, who later became his wife and mother of his children when they got to 30;
- The marriage lasted whole 10 year and after the birth of their twins, it became painful as Natalya turned to be abusive, took one of the boys in the divorce;
- Things were going rather uneventful, the remaining twin grew up and left the nest, the father just kept taking care of his company until his ex-wife decided to take it, as it was the last thing he had. One of the products got sabotaged, forcing Samiel to give Feathercorp over to Natalya;
- Samiel moved to US to start anew, burned in Europe. One day, drunk and lonely in the room he rented, he prayed for help, but no one answered. In drunk stupor he decried God and asked Satan for help and he received what he asked for. One of them answered;
- He woke up with a massive headache, a mother of all hang-overs and when he looked in the mirror, he saw his hands being wrapped by snakes and another moving in to strangle him. They soon disappeared, but an oddly dark laughter echoed in the room;
- The irony of Samiel's chosen name and the cry for help caught attention of the certain demon, a particularly capricious incubus. But the helpless human has yet to learn the name of his Passenger;
- The occassional slips in sanity didn't stop the man from dusting off his Secret Service skills and becoming a private investigator;
