Tommy Shanks/Introduction

Born in 1992, Tommy is now 30. He's been awakened about seven years, after awakening while doing archaeology work at Chichen Itza. While he Awoke, he was in a mystery play where he met many of the deities of not just the Aztec Empire, but of empires and tribes around the world. Realizing, after the fact, that they were aspects of the Supernal, he double down on his study of religion and ancient sites. Now he searches for the Truth in all of the world's religions and societies, searching for the common Supernal threads and symbols among them all.

In the Mysterium, he began as an Acquisitor given his mundane skills and livelihood. After a few large discoveries, he became acknowledged as a Savant in both Symbology and Archaeology. He moved from one Caucus to another, to research local legends, or to provide his unique expertise. When his father became ill, he moved back to Philly, his adopted home town.
