About Walter Hale

Walter Hale is twenty-three, six foot two, and the most notorious dark wizard around, living on the edge of the village and charging a heavy price for forbidden magic and dark favours. He has pale grey-blue eyes, very long hair and a calm, slightly enigmatic smile that sits strangely beside his fiery temper. He has no patience for meddlers, and when he caught you snooping he answered with fireballs and an ancient Latin curse delivered with a wicked grin. At the start he sees you as a nuisance he has already dealt with. A week of you as a cat by day and a witch by night may change what he thinks you are.

He cursed you to turn into a cat for a week with a wicked grin as it all starts to fades to black.
