Ibis the Healer

Ibis Singh was born Arjun Kapoor. He is a three hundred and fifty-eight year old Warlock who lives in Inverness and works as a emergency room physician at the hospital.

He was born October 31, 1658, at the beginning of the Mughal empire, in a small village far from the wars and politics that had ravaged his homeland of India. His mother died giving birth to him, and her husband raised him as his own son until he was around twelve years old, when his demon mark, gold colored eyes irises with star shaped pupils, appeared upon the onset of puberty. His father was a good man; upon manifestation of Arjun's demon mark, he took his son and fled their small village, settling far from others until his son could learn to control his appearance. He did not blame Arjun's mother for his birth, knowing her to be a good loving woman who had fallen under the wiles of a demon and he did not take it out on her child, loving Arjun as if he were his own blood.

Arjun's father died when he was sixteen after falling ill, and Arjun left their small farm, having no reason to stay. His magic had begun to manifest and he blamed himself for his father's death because he was unable to heal him.

Determined to learn to control his magic and use his abilities to save others when he'd been unable to save his father, Arjun went to Madurai to learn the art of healing through Mundane means and to search for others who were like him.

While he was studying mundane medicine, he met Ragnor Fell. The older warlock took Arjun under his wing and showed him how to use his demon-given powers.

After a hundred years (give or take a decade), Ragnor and Arjun parted ways amiably. Arjun continued to pursue mundane medicine, but now he was fully able to incorporate his skills with his warlock abilities. He spent his time moving from place to place every 20 years or so, when he could no longer reasonably explain his perpetual youth. As the years passed, he found himself in Inverness, Scotland, where he settled just a year ago and took a job at the hospital.

Personal Life

Arjun changed his name to Ibis around the start of the 19th century. He chose the name after the Egyptian god of Medicine, Thoth, who frequently appeared as an Ibis, and Singh was a common enough surname to use without raising suspicion.

Ibis, being immortal, has had numerous love affairs over the centuries, but no one has ever captured his heart and made him fall in love.

He's serious, quiet, and dedicated to the study of medicine and healing. He's soft spoken, charming, and kind-hearted. He's more than a bit of a sensualist, though he's not causal with his affairs as he feels far too deeply to allow others that close without true affection for them.

Though definitely not in the top ten of the most powerful warlocks of the world, Ibis is probably one of the top healers in the UK. Due to his age and his profession, he has amassed significant wealth, though, with the exception of his large house, he lives modestly.
