Cheerful and confidant, Jonathon is a true example of the gentleman though he is also a charmer and womanizer. That, while he would not purposefully insult a female, he is one to complement and flatter. Lastly, he will avoid harm or attacking a female if he can avoid it because of his personal values.
He prefers not to fight directly, though he is very skilled with swords and is a fencer, as he doesn't want to dirty his hands. More, if he feels that he could get too badly hurt or worse killed he will rather run away then continue to fight... causing many to label his as a coward. Jonathon is knowledgeable of the past and since he has read much on history , especially its magical side, he can come off a thinking he knows more than he does. He also loves stories, finding and retelling them, and is not above trying to turn his life into a tale of mystery and danger.
This ‘loveable rogue’ image he offers though is part of a mask, as this is only what he shows on the outside. Inside he is very troubled as well as having a fear of getting close to anyone. He has a noble heart though and tries to keep idealism alive but he cannot let go of his past. He blames himself for his family’s death and wishes for his life to be as it was… not looking to the future or allowing new friendships to develop too strongly, nor will he allow himself to fall in love.

hen young, it was clear that he was a prodigy, when he first picked up a violin, Jonathon learned how to play it in less than half the time it took his peers, and he mastered this instrument at the age of 10. He later branched out to other instruments like the flute, the clarinet, the piano and the harp. He started composing beautiful pieces of music at the age of 17, but he soon found this tiresome. He then started schooling outside of England with a focus on Writing, English, History, and fencing. It was here that he found a love of reading, not only history, but also fables, fairy tales, myths, legends, and most other works of fiction. It was during this time that he discovered magic, and in a short amount of time, he could create physical illusions of the creatures and characters from the books he has read. By this time, about thirty years had gone by since he had left his family. When he returned to his family, they feared him as it was clear he had not aged since they say him last. Jonathon was forced away, shunned by the only family he knew. It was around this time that Jonathon saw he could not age, nor could he ever grow sick. Many would have seen this as a blessing along with his prodigy-like abilities, but Jonathon saw it all as a curse.
Jonathon was foolish, though, not understanding everything this could mean… like when it came to falling in love. Her name was Gabriela and she was a true beauty. Kind, loving… she believed in him, understood him, and even accepted the fact Jonathon was different. It was the happiest time of his long live. They had three wonderful children, and because of Jonathon’s skills, they grew to live comfortably and had no worry for money, but it all ended in tragedy. The people in the town they lived in grew suspicious of the fact that Jonathon had not seemed to have aged a day in the years he and his family had lived there. A mob was formed and, while Jonathon was out on an assignment for his work, they broke into his home. Working towards killing his wife, thinking she had married a devil, and also killing his children, as they thought they were half breed spawn. Jonathan returned from work during this time, and after seeing what they had done, flew into a cold fury. In his fury he brought forth three of the most dangerous and terrifying monsters his imagination could bring forth, ones that showed his rage, his pain, and his sorrow, created with the dark magics he had chosen before never to use… But he lost control of them, and watched as they started destroying the town and killed everyone in their path. He was horrified at what he had created, and to make it even worse… his wife was not completely dead yet, forcing her to see the evil he could make. When Jonathon knelt by his wife’s side, he saw she was still alive, and he tried to save her… but she turned away. She said she could never live with, nor even love, a man that would create such evil, and said that if Jonathon really loved her, he would let her die. After much pleading, and trying to have Gabriela change her mind… he finally agreed to what she asked, though it hurt him dearly, and as he watched her die… a part of him died with her.
Jonathon swore to himself he would never fall in love again, nor would he ever use his magic to cause harm to any but the most evil or dangerous of villains. He also promised himself that he would never allow himself to grow so angry as to cause himself to bring forth his inner demons again. He also promised himself he would find a way to destroy these inner demons he had created.
Years flew by like a blur, but they were not peaceful, as the demons he had created tormented him still. Jonathan gave his demons the names Irascor for rage, Volnero for pain, and Aegrimonia for sorrow (actually this names are Latin for what they are). He continued to improve his skills, and his learning in both history and the magical arts. Through the years he has stepped forward to help forces of good, but he never made any true friendships, except his familiar Aesha, a being that usually takes the form of a bat though she can take human form, who he found during his travels… she became his only friend. Nor did he allow himself to fall in love, as he feared a similar tragedy to that of his beloved Gabriela. He also learned many languages in his travels around the world.

In every age there is some object or power that is beyond natural abilities. If Jonathon Wilder possesses such abilities or objects it should be listed here.

Pocketwatch of special and arcane design. A couple of pairs of well made and fancy travelling clothes that leave him looking like he is ready to go to a party but surprisingly durable while being resistant to damage or getting dirty. Other things.

A large library's worth of books, scrolls, and spellbooks. Money to more then meet his needs or wants, as well as strange and beautiful antiquities.
