History
Awakening in Manchester with a keen interest in history, the boy who would be Tattersall made headlines aged only seventeen when his eager exploration and a liberal dash of Fate magic led him to an Atlantean artefact.

This deepened his interest as he began to study links to the further past, and became the subject of a curious bidding war between various Hierarchs to secure his services; Hagstone won out with the offer to reactivate the position of Archivist and grant it to him and, with the aid of Protean, a guarantee of a place at Lancaster University for the young man to read history.

Download welcomed the young man into the Alexandrians, kickstarting a long love affair between the lad and the library. For some years it was quite the joke among his Sleeper friends. However, in the aftermath of the murders perpetrated by the Hallows Killer, Tattersall was offered - and accepted - a place in the Gregson Five, to considerable uproar from the Alexandrians.

This would plant the seed of his undoing, however, as he was present at the killing of Ford, and thus one of the victims of the Free Council Trials, during which his status as Hagstone's favourite worked against him; unable to show leniency, she banished him from the Consilium or what he later pointed out to Achaikos was her lifetime, not his.

His memory of the contents of the Archive purged by Demdike, Tattersall went next to the Sherwood Consilium, but his time there was less than an hour, as an unidentified short blonde woman with a stern expression extracted him and smuggled him out of the country to Switzerland.

Despite this, he was in touch enough with local affairs to suggest a name for what is now known as the Consilium of the Stone Circle, the Consilium Plantagenet.
