Ishmael Chance

Ishmael Chance is the orphaned son of a sorcerer that died shortly before the close of the Coalition's Bloody Campaign. His mother fell in love with an unknown CS commander during the war and the lovers were separated before they knew she was with child. Leta Chance died giving birth to her only child, a boy.
Leta returned from the war to find her family had been killed and her friends were still away fighting. She gave birth in the home of a nursemaid that also served under a Temporal Raider named Katung. With the mother dead and the father unknown, the nursemaid raised the boy until he was four, when he went into the service of Katung, learning to be a Temporal Warrior. He was raised a warrior and a magician, serving Katung for nearly twenty years.
At the end of his service, Ishmael was captured on a raid and used as a test subject for an evil Great Horned Dragon named C'thar. The dragon took him to a mystical realm and sacrificed him to a great Millenium tree, impaling him upon it for nearly a month without food or water. At the end of the ritual, much to C'thar's astonishment, Ishmeal had not died. Instead the warrior stood with magical knowledge that surpassed even the great dragon. Ishmael killed the dragon and limped into hiding to recover from his ordeal.
After twenty years of service and this latest horror, Ishmael no longer trusted any form of authority and developed an insatiable thirst for anarchy. Lurking in shadows across the Megaverse Ishmael Chance caused havoc and spread destruction into the established powers of a hundred dimensions. It was during an assassination in the 'Burbs of Chi-town that Ishmael found his purpose in life.
While escaping from the scene of a brutal killing of a captain in the C.S. military that he saw the face of the Emperor Karl Prosek. A face he was familiar with, his own. Reeling from this discovery he wandered towards the Federation of Magic. Within a month he found the Nursemaid that had raised him before Katung. She retold the story of his mother and he pieced together the rest.
His C.S. father had been none other than Joseph Prosek the First. It was the only explanation for his uncanny resemblance to the current emperor. Within a year from that day he had amassed an army of demons and a fortune to begin his own empire. He discovered a citadel atop Rikers Island and soon began a quiet campaign of terror in North America.
In addition to his amazing magical abilities, Ishmael is also a competent armorer and designer of weapons. His ideas were the foundation for Last Chance Arms. The introduction of Kisentite Ram-jet rounds and innovations in Techno-wizardry have made L.C.A. the most innovative weapons dealer in this dimension ahead of even Wilkes and the Splugorth. His army is a guerrilla force that constantly engages in assassinations and undermining of almost every power on the continent.

Disposition: Ishmael has not had the easy life his half brother has, and he hates him for it. He is as obsessed with destroying his brother's vision as his brother is with fulfilling it.

He is insane, but he is not crazy. He realized that it would take a long campaign of guerrilla strikes and assassinations to even make a dent in the Coalitions personnel. With the current strife in North America, Ishmael Chance will be a VERY busy man.
