Growing up Wyatt always thought of himself as a good person, but after seeing his own dark side he has come to the conclusion that at his very core he is not a good man. He knows he has the tendency to look for the easy way out, to use magic to ease his problems and this tendency has led him down a dark path once before. The time he spent succumbing to dark magic has left a mark on him, a self-loathing that he tries to mask with his outwardly friendly, kind, and easy going nature. The traits that others would see as admirable; courage, his willingness to throw himself into danger for others, and his selflessness all boil down to the fact that he sees his own life as not worth saving, others are inherently more valuable than him. He forgives so easy because he knows the mistakes he has made are so much worse. The best he can hope for is to keep trying to put more good into the world to counteract the wrongs he has done. He overthinks everything he does, always able to come to the conclusion that every good deed he does has a selfish motivation.
Wyatt is dedicated to both his job and coven, working to keep Ember Grove as safe as he can and keeping his mind distracted. When he doesn’t have work to do, he spends his time in crowded places, like bars, as being around others helps to keep him distracted as well. The constant need for magic and the rush of power that comes with it constantly nag in the back of his mind, calling him to again walk a dark path. He worries about his self-control, holds himself back from using any magic unless absolutely necessary to avoid losing any more of himself than he already has. Likewise, he has little taste for violence, he doesn’t want to hurt people, supernatural or otherwise, and on the occasion when it becomes necessary to do so he feels an incredible amount of guilt. A part of him would prefer to have his powers stripped away, to live as a human and never be asked to be judge and executioner of the supernatural again. But he knows he could never turn his back to what’s really going on, and so more often than not when threats arise in Ember Grove it is him his coven sends to deal with them. As hard as it is for Wyatt to walk within these gray areas, he does it because there are so few who can or will.
》H i s t o r y
Born and raised in Ember Grove to parents he would describe as exceptional, his father a detective and his mother owned an occult bookstore. Wyatt had a fairly normal childhood, he enjoyed playing football especially in high school and tended to just get by as an average student in school. Applying himself always seemed to be something he struggled with when it came to anything that didn’t immediately interest him, and a young Wyatt always preferred to take the easy way out especially when it came to school while at the same time working very hard to improve his skill on the football field mainly due to his enjoyment of the sport. He looked up to his father a great deal, wanting to one day serve a similar protective role in the community.
After high school Wyatt went to college in Ember Grove as well, taking classes in law enforcement, having known from a young age that he wanted to follow in his father footsteps. College, however, wasn’t easy for him, there was too much going on for him to find the right balance. At first, he spent too much time partying and goofing off that his grades were slipping and then he spent too much time studying and was miserable. He found other warlocks and witches from covens with completely different outlooks than his own and before he really understood what he was getting into he began to dabble with dark magic. Things he thought of as small; taking energy from others so he could spend less time sleeping, ways to cheat through school, or shifting luck towards his favor, which would always shift another’s luck against their favor, all things he thought of as maybe causing others an inconvenience but it wasn’t really hurting anyone.
Using magic selfishly and indulging in dark magic had a strong effect on him; though it started out as something he’d do very rarely it evolved into an almost daily occurrence. It became a habit, something he did not because he needed an edge or boost but something he impulsively had to do, something that gave him a rush of power. Wyatt and the group of witches he hung around began experimenting more with dark magic, playing around with dark energy and speaking to the dead. It wasn’t about using magic to help him through school anymore, it was all about how far they could push the limits and how powerful it could make them all feel. His grades slipped again and all he could think about, care about, was magic and what he could do with it.
His father was worried about him, how distant and strange he’d been acting, so they made plans to meet up for dinner. But Wyatt never went to meet his father, instead he hung out with his group of friends and woke up to several missed calls from his dad as well as several worried voicemails from his mother the next morning. His father had left to meet him but no one had head from him after that, and several days later his father’s body was discovered and all signs pointed towards vampire attack. Guilt ate away at him, knowing that if he had showed up to meet his father, he’d likely still be alive. His mother could hardly bare to look at him and he understood why; she had to blame him just as much as he blamed himself. Not long after his father’s funeral his mother relocated to Tennessee and Wyatt has little contact with her beyond the occasional phone call or holiday card.
After the funeral Wyatt took time off from school and stayed away from his group of friends. No longer playing around with dark magic for fun he was using it to further a hunt for vengeance. Wyatt spent weeks searching for the vampire that killed his father, using dark magic to torture other vampires for information until he finally had the name of the one responsible. Then he found that vampire and tortured him to death. The dark magic fueled in him nothing but pain, rage, and vengeance but soon after he’d killed the vampire he thought responsible, he found out he’d been fed lies. He came to realized not only had he twisted magic from something meant to protect and heal others into something used to maim and kill, but he had tortured another being to death for crime it had not committed. He was ashamed of what he allowed himself to become, and so he confessed it all to his coven’s elders fully expecting to have his powers bound and to be either banished, imprisoned, or even executed. He done a horrible thing that he could never take back and he was more than ready to face retribution for what he had done, welcomed it even.
What Wyatt didn’t expect, however, was forgiveness. The coven helped Wyatt detox himself from his dependence on dark magic, although the constant want for it is always there in the back of his mind. He took a year off from school to deal with everything and when he went back, he focused only on his classes, getting a job with the Ember Grove Police Department and working with his coven. He put all his energy into anything that could take his mind off the temptation to abuse magic and even now only uses it when he has to. Wyatt feels it is better for him to do things the hard way whenever possible, although in hunting down supernatural threats to Ember Grove being more than human frequently comes in handy. After finishing school he continued working as a cop in Ember Grove and recently became a detective which further aids his ability to investigate the supernatural occurrences within the town.

Fire Summoning, as with most in his coven, is one of the main defenses in his arsenal. He is also adept with telekinesis and using shields for his go to spells when things get dangerous.
A need for order ignites within us
We are the light that illuminates the shadows
The embers that burn against the darkness
Seeking out that which hides in the night
Harnessing the light to vanquish evil
Let our flame catch and spread within others
So that order may carry on
When our own flame is extinguished
》Current Leader: Clayton Barrett Calhoun, the current mayor of Ember Grove
》How radical 1 to 10: 6
》History: An order of witches and warlocks almost as old as the town of Ember Grove itself, formed by the few magically gifted founders of the town. As Ember Grove became a beacon for the supernatural the need arose to protect the community from those that sought to harm others. Within the order exists the belief that those with knowledge of the supernatural have a duty to protect the innocent from threats they cannot comprehend as well as working to keep the existence of magic a secret. For centuries this coven has existed, dealing with threats as they arise, and only using violent means when absolutely necessary. To the order vampires and werewolves are not automatically enemies; it is only those who cross the lines of harming others or risking exposure that the order concerns itself with. Many coven members work in law enforcement or within the government to better monitor and protect the town while also serving the community. Coven members tend to excel at summoning and controlling fire, as it is one of the best defenses against vampires, while also focusing on other forms of offensive magic and protective spells.
》Goals: To protect the town of Ember Grove from supernatural creatures and, if need be, eliminate the threats that cannot be handled by the justice system alone.
