Background
Keith was born in Ireland and was raised by both his mother and father. His parents were quite active in the mystical community before Keith was born and only barely left when he was born. This decision was made by both his parents that the world of magic was too dangerous to be involved in especially with a child whom might not have 'the gift' like themselves. Though they later returned to the area of magic and the occult when they discovered Keith had a natural talent or 'the gift' that needed to be harnessed in the midst of his childhood.
Keith first displayed an ability for magic when he accidentally lost control while reading out of a book he found in the attic when he was ten and setting fire to not only a candle, but the desk where it sat. His mother was shocked at first with her son showing such an amplitude for magic, but then realized he had extreme powerful potential and decided to venture into owning a magic shop with Keith's father that year while also beginning instruction with Keith on how to control his gift.
Keith grew up from the age of ten until the age of nineteen living above his families magic shop. Each day after school he was expected to either come back to do homework and study in the shop or when he got old enough, to work as a cashier and stock boy for the family shop. When it was off hours at the shop Keith was formally instructed by both his parents in the arts of Witchcraft and general magic. From this training Keith has a high aptitude for most things magical. He's made it one of his sole missions in life to incorporate his Occult knowledge into his modern day life. Since his extensive training in the shop, Keith has developed quite a high skill and might be known for being a local Occult Scholar by any members of the magical community. He also has been rumored to be quite telepathic and has the ability to use this gift in odd ways.
Keith's history up until he came to Devilshire is quite mixed and expansive. When he was eleven his parents began training him out of their personal Book of Shadows. He studied about demons, warlocks, and other evil entities. When he was nearing the age of twelve Keith had encountered a local ghost in town at one of the well known haunted houses. His magic studies had prepared him for banishing a ghost, but when he entered the house to banish the ghost he found that his powers weren't as stable as his parents. He seemed to have possessed a crippling disadvantage finding his powers uncontrollable when under extreme stress. In effect, Keith barely banished the ghost after nearly killing himself in the process. Ever since this moment, Keith has attempted to keep himself away from extreme stress while practicing magic, seeming to prefer assistance magic to the all out offensive magic his parents practiced. Though his life would not be so simple since his parents are avid demon hunters. He was always in danger of attacking monsters and entities. This required Keith to be very keen in the art of demon identification as well finding ways to momentarily cope with his uncontrollable powers to vanquish his incessant attackers. Though this is quite hard and battling evil as a side-job really takes a toll on Keith. His uncontrollable power usually gets in the way at the oddest times when fighting enemies.
While Keith developed his Witchcraft skills, at the age of thirteen he was given the power of telepathy on his birthday. One day he was just your normal practicing Wicca and the next he was a telepathic witch with no idea how to control hearing thoughts. His parents took the whole day to realize exactly what Keith was doing when he guessed what they were getting him for his birthday and responding oddly to each thought they were having. Being that his parents didn't directly have the gift of telepathy they assisted Keith by buying many books from their local suppliers about the ability. After three years of hard practice Keith finally suppressed the ability to only activate on command or when his uncontrollable power surged under stress. Since this ability clearly is connected to Keith innate ability he seems to have a natural ability in the social sciences and uses it to help people with their problems. Occasionally this need for helping people gets Keith in trouble when using his telepathic ability since he can be seen answer the occasionally thought or mental notes of others without realizing it.
Keith moved into town after attending two years of college in Dublin studying only history. He now is attending one of the local colleges finishing a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minors in Psychology and Chemistry. He usually chooses to do most his research on the inner workings of most religious cults and aspects of ancient cultures. Citing that most cultures had some group of people whom were gifted with certain odd gifts throughout history. He has a fairly extensive library of magic books that he bought from his parents shop. He keeps these sensitive material around his bedroom, though he also keeps all his other books assorted around his house.
Keith had a second, more driving reason, to move to Devilshire than just attending DevU. He moved away for Ireland to get away from the rival coven to his parents, the Galway Coven. The Galway Coven has had a large vendetta against the Dublin Coven, Keith's family coven, for multiple generations. A week before Keith headed off to Devilshire the rival coven offered Keith a position in their group. When Keith declined the offer and said he'd never join Galway Coven they vowed to ensure he'd never be safe anywhere he moved. The Galway Coven has visited Devilshire a few times. Each time sending one of their lower witches to eliminate the powerful Dublin witch. Each time Keith escapes the attack by either out doing the rival witch in spellcraft or eliminating them in other less popular ways. Keith has tried to keep his rivalry out of his life in Devilshire, though it seems to always crop up at inconvenient times.
