Mordecai Tremaine

Dr. Mordecai Tremaine is the ex-Sorcerer Royal to Albion. He is the main antagonist of the series, organising much of the plot's complications both indirectly and directly. He was born in Holmland and has only one known relative, his younger sister, Sylvia Tremaine. He is an incredibly gifted magician, sings concert-level opera singer, favourite of sartorialists,.

Sorcerer Royal
Adviser to the government on all things magical, Mordecai Tremaine would have had access to all manner of high level documents and magical artifacts. His radical thinking in regards to magic and his unconventional approaches to the practice assist him in casting spells previously considered impossible.

Publications
As Sorcerer Royal, he published a number of books on magical theory. His radical theories and hypotheses cause much uprest in the magical community, with academics rioting at the universities. In one instance he was even burned in effigy.
 * Towards a Theory of Magical Forces
 * A number of papers in scholarly works such as The Greythorn Journal of Magic

Magical Connection
He and Aubrey Fitzwilliam share a magical connection after their first altercation when Tremaine kidnapped Aubrey's father. It waxes and wanes, but gives both parties an understanding of the other and alerts them to their presence.

Arturo Spinetti
For some time, Dr. Tremaine posed as famous opera singer Arturo Spinetti, obscuring his appearance with magic in order to replace the gold in the Bank of Albion with fairy gold, and transport the real gold to the Elektra, to be taken to Holmland.
