== Description ==
Receding dark hair. Average looking. He could use some exercise, but the practice of his art keeps him too busy for it. He's not flamboyant, keeping a low profile and casual attires.
He's often caught talking aloud (though he's probably just conversing with one of his summoned elemental).
His social downfall and lack of success in his business had left him bitter and cynical, only reinforcing his bad habits.
== Background ==
Born in 2032, McClane was a forensic expert with a passion for magic theories. In spite of years of magical studies, his talent however never expressed itself before the apparition of Halley's Comet in 2061. With the appearance of SURGE and earth's extreme makeover with the ring of Fire and other tidal storms, he quite freaked out and kept his new found abilities a secret.
It was in the summer '64 that he managed to summon his first spirit, a few weeks before the crash of '64. The crash brought doom and chaos in his life. His wife, a fellow scientist, died trapped in the matrix, his lab burnt to ground, and he lost his SIN. He had nothing left; he drank heavily and flew away.
He traveled for some time, learning what he could about his art - the only thing that was left in him - then settled in Seattle, hoping for some good opportunities and to restart a new life. Life as a SINless is not without ajustment however and McClane had quite a hard time at the beginning. See, he always tried to do good, but things never went his way. Sometimes the harder he was trying the worst happened! He started to see a parallel between power and chaos.
He couldn't get any official license, and people always seemed to distrust him. He became an unlicensed occult investigator, hoping to help people in poorer neighborhood who couldn't get police or government assistance. Business was slow and all the money was reinvested in becoming a better magician.
It wasn't before another life changing even that McClane turned to the shadows. If he always had a knack at summoning elementals, he learnt the hard way that he was pretty bad at Banishing. When a binding attempt on an earth spirit turned bad, he found out too late that had no talent whatsoever at sending the spirit back to its plane. He stood no chance in the fight. He was left dying, broken, but never saw the Light. Darkness came and Death, with a capital D. He surprisingly felt no fear, no sorrow. Death wasn't here to take him, but to guide him in the Realm of Life. He had found his Mentor Spirit, one he had not expected, the Dark King. The encounter had left him weaker but more aware of the world and its balance.
Since that day, he embraced the Shadows. He understood that darkness only relates to evil in people's misconception of things. He was walking a dark path but one made of secrecy and mysteries, not blood and death. He knew he was a good man and the Dark King was but the keeper of secrets. Life wasn't any easier however. Reputation was everything in the streets, his wasn't pretty. Maybe it was because bad things tended to happen around him or maybe few liked to work with someone with a strong penchant for drinks and drugs. Or maybe because other Magicians were not taking him seriously... who knew. None of his last two teams' partners had made it alive to tell a tale.
Now money was running short, and few of his former contacts would consider talking to him.He had to find a run soon, and for once, finish it.
