Character
John Braggen
Created by HeadsmansbasterdJohn Braggen's rise to power was a tale of ambition, cunning, and a willingness to embrace the darker forces of the world. Born to a family of modest means, Braggen recognized early on that the traditional path to success was not for him. Instead, he delved into the arcane arts, mastering the summoning and binding of fiendish entities, using their otherworldly powers to advance his political aspirations. With a Machiavellian approach to governance, Braggen manipulated the system, forging alliances and crushing his opponents through a combination of shrewd deals and occult influence. Now, as the newly elected mayor of Boston, he wields his demonic servants as extensions of his will, using them to enforce his vision of a city where power and profit reign supreme, regardless of the cost to its citizens. Braggen's bowler hat and business attire conceal a dark secret – a soul tainted by the corruption of the infernal realm, a bargain he made long ago for the sake of his ambition.
