Sam

Sam is a well loved mage from the south of North America, he represents american nationality with his cowboy swagger and his no BS attitude.

Sam made a name for himself as a Keeper of the Star and the way he employs his magic, Sam is a force mage though he focuses on the manipulation of momentum. This he uses to make the impacts of his bullets even more devastating, it is even said that the very bullets he uses are one-shot items with different effects. Some dispelling shields, others inducing sleep and more.

Whether or not any of this is true, Sam hasn't confirmed or denied but one could consider it quite telling that he being a mage does wear two Colt anaconda .44 at his hip.

Political leanings
Sam is a traditionalist, he likes North America just the way it is and same goes for it's magical society. Though his youth makes him a little more amenable towards change than a typical traditionalist, he still holds the values of his faction in high esteem.

He sympathizes with the Adepts and would rather they weren't the butt of mage society, but he also realizes the value in letting Dark mages and estranged Light mages have some sort of outlet where to flex their muscles, and if not Adept society then where?

Sam has taken no particular stance on the Convention of Five issue, though being a Traditionalist, his stance is presumed against.

Personality
Sam is your typical Texan cowboy, he speaks with a heavy accent and always with a sort of coy smile as if he was the constant recipient of some private joke, that only he got.

He's however respectful for his age, showing both admiration and deference for his fellow councilors, realizing it is only with their blessing a man of his age has gotten to where he is.

Sam doesn't have staff so much as he has a posse or entourage, Sam is a superstar in younger mage society and he has used this to leverage quite the following. A tendency that his him changing Aids every few months.
