Sergei is Jay’s family assigned “uncle” and mentor. Once a vessel much like Jay, he was raised as a dedicated yet reserved man, always respectful of his self-proclaimed sacred family. Many believe he would’ve been an excellent host, be it not for a strange incident that caused him a near fatal injury and costed him one of his legs and his connection to the strange avian entity. Despite the damage, he was able to maintain some control over the powers left in his body, allowing him abilities such as summoning Sage, a raven made of flesh and shadow. His self taught mastery granted him the title of mentor once it became Jay’s turn to become a vessel, taking the boy into his own home in hopes to prepare him for the future.

Other details:
⁘ Although he doesn’t have feathers like Jay, parts of his body remain darkened. What’s left of his hair’s original color is a stripe of silver. He prefers to hide these changes as well.
⁘ His left leg is a prosthetic and needs his cane to walk for long distances.
⁘ Part-time musician, his preferred instrument is the cello. He’s the reason for Jay’s late bloomed interest and studies in music.
⁘ Very studious, he’s more likely to be at a local library or in his own study while Sage keeps watch on Jay.
⁘ Sage rarely makes a sound, preferring to communicate through body language. She’s surprisingly gentle.
⁘ Sage sometimes passes as a service animal, aiding Sergei when the pain on his hips is a little too strong.
