Origin and Background: (British) Randolph J. Hawthorne was an English nobleman whose interest in the occult led him to the darkest places scattered across the globe. In one such place, high on top of an unnamed Himmalayan Mountain, Randolph performed an ancient and blasphemous ritual which tore opened the sky and allowed a dimensional being of great power to enter our realm of existence. Randolph welcomed Farnorondorgo to earth and pledge his service to his cause. The ritual would have been a complete success, allowing Farnorondorgo complete control over the earth, but the local Tibetan monks performed their own ritual to banish the Dark God from our reality. But before the Dark God was exiled, he was able to give a fraction of his power to Randolph as a gift. Randolph made his way back to England where he started a secret mystical society known as the Arcanist Guild. The Arcanist Guild kept a low profile as it expanded its power base in England (it did not want to attract the attention of any of the other mystical societies or that of the government). In the late 19th Century, Randolph sent Guild agents to infiltrate the mystical society known as the Order of the Golden Dawn. Soon, Randolph's agents had completely infiltrated the Golden Dawn (and her sister societies) and Randolph began to manipulate the Order for his own agenda. Randolph's Guild agents had attracted the attention of Aleister Crowley who had become dissatisfied with the Golden Dawn. Randolph tutored Crowley in some of the darker rituals. While Crowley's notoreity increased, Randolph stayed in the background pulling the strings. Randolph J. Hawthorne is interested in any mystical artefacts that could increase his power and he uses his Arcanist Guild members to search out the world for any such relic. He keeps tabs on all sorcery using characters should they become an obstacle to his plans. He will not allw anyone stand in his way of performing the final ritual that will allow Farnorondorgo to enter our realm of existence. Randolph is waiting for when the stars will be right before he can perform this final ritual. The headquarters of the Arcanist Guild is located in a secret lair under the Royal Botanical Garden in Regents Park, London, England. |
