Cain [WIP]
-- [Quote source]
Known locally as "The Psychic" (complete with capital 'T' and 'P' to match his showman persona), Cain is the sole owner of The Hourglass, a small shop chock full of mystic and magic wares-- and his personal psychic services. Unbeknownst to the general public, however, his act as a psychic is just that: an act. He has not a single iota of psychic power; everything he passes off as psychic abilities is either smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection, cold reading, or just plain theatrics.

BackstoryCain has been living in Crossroads for about a decade now, having hailed from... well, somewhere else. He doesn't really talk much about from where he's from, his family, or his past prior to showing up in Crossroads, but word around town is he's let a few tidbits slip after a couple drinks: allegedly mentioned that he "learned his trade from his parents" but had to "move to a city to find any success in it", apparently adding that he sends the majority of his money back to his family for reasons yet unspecified.
[Mentioning of fake name will be added]
Somehow along the way, Cain acquired a severe debt and now owes someone that is very impatient and very unforgiving. Is it money he owes? He certainly seems to act like it is. How much? He hasn't said, outside of "too much". To whom exactly? Due to how revealing that information would likely anger the debtor more and put his safety at higher risk, he won't say. He has revealed, however, that it's all clearly rigged against him; the interest mysteriously increases every time he pays some of it off, and that he'll likely be in debt the rest of his life (which will be very short at this rate).
