Seb

Chief Inspector Sebastian Van Soorn is the head of Magnimar's Indros Division, a special task force which focuses on combating the rise of organised crime in the City of Monuments.

Seb is a cantankerous and paranoid investigator, turned somewhat bitter after a lifetime of exposure to some of the worst criminal elements of Magnimar. Realising at a young age that the Sczarni did not fight cleanly, Seb began to invent his own devices to help him in his efforts. While malfunctions often caused problems for the investigator, including, but not limited to, the loss of several of his fingers, the technology Seb devised assisted in his rise to the rank of Captain. Seb has been involved in most of the crises in Magnimar that have occurred within his lifetime, and this has taken its toll. He is missing a leg, has almost lost the sight in one eye, and is missing fingers on both hands.

Having discovered clues which would eventually lead to the exposure of the Skinsaw Cult, Seb became convinced that his life was at risk, suspecting a conspiracy that infested the entire city watch. Turning away from the city watch, Seb enlisted the aid of the Sandpoint 5 in defeating the cult.

Seb has shown a distaste for bureaucracy and strict rules, preferring to go after what he views as genuine evil rather than petty criminals. This was made clear when he came to an agreement with a group of Sczarni burglars known as the Tower Girls, agreeing to drop his investigation into their crimes in exchange for their help against the Skinsaw Cult. While Seb is often frustrated by the constant teasing of the Tower Girls themselves, he has grown to respect and admire Rudjek, their enforcer, for his straightforward approach to solving problems.

After the defeat of the Skinsaw Cult, Seb was promoted to the rank of Chief Inspector, and given command of his own task force- The Indros Division. He spent the following weeks recruiting people who have an equally unconventional approach to law enforcement, building a team of agents who could match up to the escalating violence of the Sczarni in Magnimar.

In 4708 AR Seb was caught in a gang war between three Sczarni crews- the Wrecks, the Gallowed and the Creepers. The conflict weighed heavily on him, however, he found some time to aid the Sandpoint 5 in their investigation into the psychic drug Midnight Milk, and the undead alchemist Kanker. Shortly after Kanker's defeat, Seb's new home- the former townhouse of Aldern Foxglove- was attacked by a swarm of undead and Sczarni thugs led by a mysterious new figure known as The Hangman.
