Equipment:Liable to have a prototype device which is equivalent to a 3 dot device that he is testing. Likely it will be something that cause pain.

Appearance/Clothing Tendiencies:an immaculate and debonair man with impeccable skin,clear eyes, great hair and a charming british accent. Wears Brooks Brothers suits almost exclusively. never wears a lab coat.

House,Circle, Influence:Owns a sumptuous home on long island which is filled to the brim with culture and art and if one looks closely has no trace of actual personality. His true home is in his hidden laboratory/abbatoir within the hive-like insane asylum on wards island.

He has some status as a member of polite society and as a doctor at the asylum. His followers are carefully chosen inmates that he uses for errands and dirty work.

What has gone Before:Magnus Jacoby is many things. He is a brilliant researcher and controversial psycholoigst/Alienist. He's known in society circles. He's got the bucks. He's a published author, and he's sold some of his art at auction. He's Inspired...and he's a Sociopath.

He's been like this all his life. his natural tendency has allways been to see inside things and people or failing that, take them apart. maybe he'll even put them back together if he feels like it's worth it to him.

Magnus has discovered that with his mental powers and his mechanical acumen he can empathically connect to other people. granted he can only experience terror and agony, because he only uses this on people he's kidnapped for this purpose. His hope is to one day find a complete method of catharsis through these experiments. Until then, he will continue to work on his little projects with increasing fervor and direct his insane minions from the safety of his island fortress.

Dr Jacoby is also begining to stretch out his tendrils into criminal society for the few things he can't easily get. he's becoming known for the few gadgets that he can produce easily.
