Orson Bates “Oogie Boogie” // 35 // Alumni // Thunderbird // No-Maj Born

Illegal Casino Owner

FC:Charles Michael Davis

Orson Bates was born and raised in Romania, not far from Transylvania. There was and remains to this day, very little magical government in Romania and dark wizards roam wild there. In such an environment, most wizards and witches go a little dark but few as dark as he did. He became the head of one of the country’s many mob families, raking in impressive wealth through loan sharking and illegal gambling, though he really has done almost any despicable thing you can think of. He is impressively talented with his use of bugs as familiars to spy on people or in some cases, poison them. He specialized at Ilvermorny in Transfiguration which he uses to turn his lairs into elaborate death traps.

With so many important people gathering in America around Ilvermorny he felt there was an opportunity there he couldn’t pass up. He took his most loyal lackeys with him and set up shop in Greylock’s landing, spreading out through New England. He runs an impressive and dangerous underground casino in Greylock’s landing and is looking for business partners to open other locations.

Connections:

The Trick o’ Trio:  His “Boogie boys,” despite one of them being a girl. He has a great amount of faith in them but would push them in a boiling pot of oil if he thought it would serve his best interests.
