Sator

Sator is a Mastigos who is a member of the Guardians of the Veil. He is a former member of the Temenos cabal and is of the Cloud Infinite legacy. During the de Molay administration, he was a very active Guardian in the Preston Consilium. Until recently he was believed dead at de Molay's hands.

History
The man known as Sator has always been fascinated by logic puzzles, those which are solvable and those intended not to be. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, he was in the generation which got caught up in the microcomputer revolution, and it was while trying to debug a particularly terrible game program for his Sinclair that he Awakened, his world framed from that moment on in neat sequences of cause and result.

He has travelled widely, but always returned to his home town of Preston. When introduced to the Consilium there, he immediately gravitated both to the mental/spiritual research promised by the Temenos and to the rule of law promised by the Guardians, but he would often disappear for a year or more at a time until around 2002.

In the height of de Molay's rule, Sator became one of the more prominent Guardians by a process not dissimilar to 'dead men's shoes'. He came down against de Molay as often as he supported him, swiftly losing the post of Factotum to Belladonna.

He also frequently clashed with the Grey Mouser on issues neither one ever spoke of at this time. They entered into Duels Arcane sufficiently often that Belladonna dismissed them as 'foreplay'.

About a month before the Convocation Trials, Sator abruptly dropped out of sight again. It was believed by the Preston Consilium that he would be one of the three mages found near-death in de Molay's warehouse experiment, but this has proven not to be the case.

It has since emerged that he forced Troy into the Cloud Infinite, apparently against her will, and that he has acquired the Soulstone of Sublime by apparently nefarious methods.
