Peter Icarus is …
41 years of age • male • seer They are played by Idris Elba.
► HISTORY
Peter’s entire life has been spent within the borders of Lakewood, the same way every generation since the Icarus’s came to America have. His mother married his father when she was older, and there’s a reason for that. Peter comes from a long line of Witches and Warlocks, Sorceress and Mages. But only his family comes with the Sight.
Passed down from one member of each family to another, the Sight is a rare gift within the world of magic. One is born every generations, to see and guide, to understand. John was born with the Sight. Of course, as soon as the next Seer comes fully into their power, the predecessor dies, and that guilt has followed Peter his whole life. Peter’s mother knew this and she waited as long as she could before having Peter. His father was a low level warlock, nothing special, but his mother loved him and that was good enough for the family, the Seer can choose who they wish to be with.
Peter grew up happy and loved, surrounded by both Pack and Coven. His mother could feel the tension rising between Lakewoods Pack and it’s Coven and she did her best to show Peter both the good and the bad in both groups, to better help him grow and understand the creatures that lived there. He was taught to respect both and help them, to be the balancing force between them.
Seer’s have always had positions of high power and respect, the better to guide their homes and towns with. Peter always wanted to be a police officer, to protect and serve and he rose quickly through the ranks. Now at 41, he’s the Commissioner of Lakewood’s police force and he prides himself on doing a good job.
Peter’s mother died when he turned 24 and his own Seeing came full fledged. Peter knew it was coming, but it still tortures him knowing his mother had to die for him to go on, for him to See and protect. Peter knows he has to marry and procreate, to give life to the next generation of Seer’s. He’s not selfish, he simply doesn’t know how to be around just one person, how to give his all to one other creature.
