#30-Charles Ivy, The Void Bearer
Captured by a cult and intended for human sacrifice, Charles and his friend Lawrence were inadvertently saved when the ritual was interrupted by a girl and her young babysitting charge stumbling into the proceedings. Unfortunately, the ritual had begun, and Charles was already wounded and dying.
During the magical backlash that occurred from the ritual being interrupted, Charles was possessed by a spirit of the Void, the negative balance to all other elements. While this saved his life, it is unclear how much of his own mind remains, uncontrolled by the spirit. He and the other 3 children caught in the ritual now have to deal with using their abilities to help others and survive the continued attentions of the cult.
