Complications:
Names Have Power In Magic - Using a person's full name is evidence of a level of personal knowledge, and knowledge is power. If a mage uses a person's given name in conjunction with a spell, it will have a stronger effect, depending on how intimate that knowledge is. This is why most magic-users keep their identities a closely-guarded secret. If the mage has read the full name somewhere (personal records, internet, etc.), the attack gains a +2 effect. If they have heard the full name spoken, they get a +5. And if they have heard the person speak the name from their own mouth, +10 effect is applied.
Truly Secret Identity - Because of their close ties to magic, fairies are given two names at birth: one that is shared with others (often representing something in nature), and one that is their true name, given at birth and only shared with the closest of loved ones.
Obsession - Oaken is obsessed with gathering knowledge.
Responsibility - Oaken is the sage and spiritual leader of the Washington DC Pixies and is a loyal servant of the Unseelie King.
Vulnerability - Oaken has the reputed faerie weakness to iron. His toughness is not impervious to pure iron weapons and take +2 to the effect. This entails pure iron only, not objects that have been refined, like steel.

Professor Oaken was created and designed by Neil Lindgren, with a nod and a wink to Tim Phillips. He is an NPC.
