ATTACHED FILE:
Subject's runes appear similar in style and function to that of the Cult of Memory, a former Icelandic mage group. However, subject has no ties to said group.
Runes are bound by unknown magical elements, referred to as an 'alchemic array' by subject.
Runes operate on the principle of 'strength compression'. In short, subject could level a building with one punch, but be unable to walk for several hours afterwards. Therefore, he very rarely does anything overt.
Psychological Profile:
PTSD likely.
Shows keen interest in Old World knowledge.
Has made mention of 'raiders' from farther south. Possible civilizations beyond ours?
Has shown fanatical determination in protecting former churches and other places sacred to 'Christian' religion.
