Nathaniel VonEvert spent the years before becoming a runner in a college that specialized in the arcane arts. His mother was a very talented arcanist and his father came from money, so they had the means to give him as good an education as money could buy. However, Nathaniel didn't apply himself to his studies, instead spent his college years at parties and experimenting with different things. One of those things was a shooting range that his friend took him to. It was at that moment that Nathaniel fully realized his love for ballistic weaponry. He kept up to date on the latest announcements from all the major weapon makers.

Background

Nathaniel VonEvert spent the years before becoming a runner in a college that specialized in the arcane arts. His mother was a very talented arcanist and his father came from money, so they had the means to give him as good an education as money could buy. However, Nathaniel didn't apply himself to his studies, instead spent his college years at parties and experimenting with different things. One of those things was a shooting range that his friend took him to. It was at that moment that Nathaniel fully realized his love for ballistic weaponry. He kept up to date on the latest announcements from all the major weapon makers.

Things came to a tipping point when he used some of the tuition money his parents had give him to get a smart link system embedded into his eye. His mother was furious that he had damaged his soul/magic potential and his father was equally upset that his money had gone to waste. They kicked him out of their lives, taking everything away from him, save for the spirit mentor they had bought for him. The spirit did not care about such earthly concerns, understanding only that it had a contract to fulfill.

No longer having the vast financial resources he had grown accustomed to, Nathaniel quickly ran afoul of several very short tempered arms dealers. Rather than ending up at the bottom of a lake somewhere, Nathaniel adopted the persona of Smoking Mirror and took to balancing the scales by doing jobs for the people that he owed money. The work suited him, and after he had payed off what he owed, he wasn't sure what else to do with himself. He didn't want to keep working for the people he had previously slighted by not paying them on time, which is how he ended up running for Orphan when she returned to Detroit.
