Background

Born as Igodalf Ofaris the V, he comes from a long line of noble wizards from an ancient kingdom. He adopted the name Larry Jenkins as a means to blend into the human society when he moved to the New World. The name Old Man Jenkins is a moniker given by the townsfolk of Mistic due to his appearance and elusive nature. He's witnessed the unfolding of centuries, participated in significant historical events, and interacted with beings both mortal and immortal. A prophecy foretold centuries ago speaks of a 'chosen one' who would knock on his door on All Hallows Eve, seeking knowledge and help for an impending calamity. Old Man Jenkins has been waiting patiently through the ages for this individual. His residence in Mistic, Massachusetts, is a large, dilapidated Victorian house that has stood for over two centuries. It's shrouded in overgrown vines, and the townsfolk tell tales of ghostly apparitions, eerie noises, and glowing lights emanating from within. The house is filled with ancient artifacts, mystical tomes, and the whisper of old spells. It serves as both his refuge and his workshop where he performs his magical experiments and studies. To the small town of Mistic, he's a figure of legend. The town has many stories about him, some fearful, some whimsical. Some say he’s a ghost, others believe he’s a guardian who protects the town from unseen evil forces. Every Halloween, the curious and the brave young souls often dare each other to knock on the door of his eerie dwelling, though few ever do. And when they do, they get quite the fright of their lives.
