Personality
Background
Abilities
Westcott's magical ability was said to be not all that great compared to the likes of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley, however he still controlled a powerful faction in the Golden Dawn as one of its Three Founders.[2]
This was in part due to possessing a form of quasi-immortality. He maintained this state by distorting the circulation of his life using the attraction of an extremely great being. When describing it, the recreated Mina Mathers omitted the exact details but mentioned Westcott's specialty in forging documents (having forged a letter from Anna Sprengel when creating the cabal to give it more prestige), his access to corpses as a coroner and how parchment was used to converse with demons and transfer souls. A red mass in the center of his chest apparently contained Westcott's soul. Though he never had doubts in it, this quasi-immortality didn't save him from death at the hands of Imagine Breaker.[2]
Westcott also had medical experience and capabilities as a coroner of Scotland Yard.[1][2]
Trivia
- The real William Wynn Westcott was a ceremonial magician and coroner who co-founded the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn together with Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and William Robert Woodman. He was later forced to cease his public association with the group due to its growing notoriety and his position as a Crown Coroner, though he secretly continued his involvement and would later be involved in one of its successor organizations, Stella Matutina. He was also a chief of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia. After retiring as a coroner in 1910, Westcott emigrated to South Africa in 1918, dying in Durban in 1925.
