Complications:
Doing Good - Aldert has always strived to do good and fight for justice.
Vow of Mystery - Like any good super-mage, Spheris tends to obfuscate matters of magic when talking to laymen.
White South African - As an Afrikaner, Aldert faces challenges in the pluralistic, multicultural, post-Apartheid society of the Republic of South Africa.

Known Background: Aldert Van Gogh (no relation) is a South African from Johannesburg. Having been born with an aptitude for magic, he sought out a teacher, Professor Möbius, and spent several years studying magic. He has since returned to Johannesburg, and is using his magic as the costumed hero, Spheris.

Spheris was created by Neil and Jenn Lindgren and designed by Ken Hallaron. He is an NPC.
