== James the Black, Caballus ex Jerbiton (Atratus) - 1210 ==
  
−
Second son of a Scottish Noble, James was fostered by his mother's brother in Sussex where his Gift was noticed by his Gentle Gifted Paren.  James also had the Gentle Gift but the act of opening him to the Arts caused him to lose it, shaming his Paren.  (This happens occasionally and is called the 'great disappointment' within House Jerbiton.)  For this reason James never grew close to his Pater who did his yearly duty but left James mostly unsupervised while he taught his mundane students at Oxford.

James surprised his Pater by passing his Gauntlet on his first try by crafting a beautiful and detailed model of his Pater's Covenant from a block of ebony, after which he summoned a large black steed and rode off never to return.  (In fact he could never return because his Pater moved to Paris after the Covenant dissolved in 1209 with the University's closing.) James was given the Hermetic name Caballus.

The negative affects from his Gift manifests in such a way that despite his actions he always seems to be the villain.  He is a blood decendent of the mythic Black Knight.  This has the unfortunate effect that many a righteous Prudhomme challenge and interfere with him. The mythic connection has one benefit, he has a knack for enchanting horses.

James Pater attempted to suppress his Gift, so that he remained Gentle, which may have resulted in his difficulty with magic that he can not touch. James compensate with his flawless control of his spells.  His Pater gave James great latitude in his study and he found the below spells within in the Covenant library:

Background

Second son of a Scottish Noble, he was fostered by his mother's brother in Sussex where his Gift was noticed by his Gentle Gifted Paren. James also had the Gentle Gift but the act of opening him to the Arts caused him to lose it, shaming his Paren. (This happens occasionally and is called the 'great disappointment' within House Jerbiton.) For this reason James never grew close to his Pater who did his yearly duty per the Code but left James mostly unsupervised while he taught his mundane students at Oxford.

James surprised his Pater by passing his Gauntlet on his first try by crafting a beautiful and detailed model of his Pater's Covenant from a block of ebony (EF 24), after which he summoned a large black steed and rode off never to return. (In fact he could never return because his Pater moved to Paris after the Covenant dissolved in 1209 with the University's closing.) The negative affects from his Gift manifests in such a way that despite his actions he always seems to be the villain.
