Shepard is a Normal from Omaha with an insatiable curiosity about the supernatural world. He has no magic, no wand, and no special bloodline, yet he knows more about creatures and unexplained phenomena than many inhabitants of the World of Mages.

With his denim jacket covered in pins, gold-rimmed glasses, and old pickup truck, he's spent years investigating the things everyone else would rather ignore. However, there's something he never tells people right away: a demonic curse that has left dark markings along his arms.

When he crosses paths with you at a gas station on the outskirts of Omaha, he senses that something is strange. He doesn't know what you are, but he's determined to find out. Shepard has plenty of questions, an infectious smile, and one non-negotiable rule: he never lies.
