Rockefeller

Rockefeller was a Moros of the Silver Ladder, the best friend of Rowntree and the co-founder of the Lighthouse Foundation. He was in the process of investigating Blake's Hoard when he became the second victim of The Hallows Killer.

History
Michael Patrick Williams was born in upstate New York in the late 1980s, the child of a wealthy stockbroker whose family history dated back to the early settlers of the state. He travelled to England to visit family when he was younger, and was enchanted by the scenery of the Lake District. Though he was strong academically, his grades were not quite high enough to gain entrance to the highest level American universities. Rather than study for his degree in a lesser university, he decided to travel to England and study there. Lancaster University was the best choice, and it was to there that he travelled.

Michael studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics, during the course of which he crossed paths with Jonathan Fry. He maintained an active social life until one night he accidentally picked up the wrong drink at a party. He was spiked with a heavy dose of MDMA, to which he had a very bad reaction. He staggered back to his room and passed out. Hyper-aware of himself, he had an out-of-body experience as he slowly experienced a heart attack. Then, as that  happened, he found himself somewhere else entirely.

His Awakening changed a lot of things. Michael knew that this was not just a hallucination, and he sought answers from a religious framework. At a meeting of the Lancaster University Pagan Society he got talking to an older member, who turned out to be Knighthood of the Alexandrians. He was introduced to Awakened society at around the same time as Rowntree, who Awakened only a month later. The two became fast friends and joined the Silver Ladder together. Some were surprised when the two joined separate cabals, until it was pointed out that Rockefeller was a teetotaller with a family history of alcoholism, and as such was somewhat uncomfortable with The Wanderers' main method of socialising.

When he and Rowntree brought the Lighthouse Foundation to Lancaster, it was Rockefeller who did most of the administrative work. It was a running joke that he was never happy unless he was working on two or three projects simultaneously, and was forever asking around about strange points of magical lore. He had made overtures outside the Consilium about joining the Legacy known as the Scions Of God, but died before this came to anything.

Rockefeller left Rowntree many notes on his projects to Rowntree in his will. It was these bequests that set Rowntree on the trail of the Hoard, in the hope of completing his friend's last project.
