Occupation
Former - Private Detective, Suarez Family Heir
Personality
If Plan A doesn't work, go to Plan B. If Plan B fails...well, Plan C is usually 'Run Like Hell'.

Intelligent
As a student of deductive reasoning, there are few things Raul enjoys more than a problem to be solved. He is intelligent, logical and thorough in his though process. However, all this knowledge leaves little room for what can be considered 'Common Sense'. Prone to overthinking, Raul is a fairly eccentric individual whose theories tend to follow a cyclical path of illuminated brilliance and nonsensical rubbish.

Non-Confrontational
Raul is a thinker, not a fighter. He tends to avoid direct confrontation whenever possible. Enemies are problems to be solved, and few problems can be solved easily with brute force. Some may call him 'dishonorable' or 'coward'. Raul prefers to phrase it as 'Better than Dead'.

Informal/Lazy
He feels no reason to rush, and is eager to show it. Raul is fond of a more relaxed lifestyle. He enjoys sleeping in, taking slow and pleasant strolls, and reading. He is far from a morning person, being incredibly groggy for several hours after waking, and refuses to take caffiene of any sort. Usually the only occasions on which he is on time involve very good food, beautiful women or when he has run out of smokes.

Cordial
Always ready with a polite smile and nod. It is very difficult to make him outright dislike you, or at least show it. Although his politeness can come off as patronizing or sarcastic at times.

History
Raul Suarez was born in Staten Island, New York. His parents made no secret of their family's history, and for the longest time he and his parents were convinced that he had no inherent talent and was not worth reporting to the Main branch.

As a child Raul grew up normally, or tried to. In secret he discovered his power at the age of ten. He practiced his skill using hand-me-down books that had been locked away in the basement( He is a precocious little scamp, and had been picking locks since he was eight). However, he had no intentions of becoming the next bearer of his Families Crest, planning instead to use his power for personal gain. But the books were old and there were not particularly many of them. Thirst for knowledge, Raul spent his teen years experimenting in secret. Every obstacle was another problem to be unraveled. Other quanderies and riddles seemed obvious and tame compared to trying to learn Thaumaturgy from the ground up. His parents were useless, none of them knew a thing about the craft, and if they knew they might send him off to Italy. Sure it might be easier, but where's the fun in that? Raul had lost sight of his goals, now consumed by wringing every last piece of knowledge he could from the books and his own hands.However, by the time Jeremiah was in his late teens it was becoming more and more apparent to his parents that he was not normal. They never bugged him about his secrecy. He got straight A's, so they assumed he was probably studying. But come across the (occasionally catastrophic) results of experimental magecraft one too many times and suspicions were raised. Raul knew it was time to book it, and promptly left home to seek his fortune at the age of nineteen.

He tried putting his mind as talents to good use as a private detective, but his lack of formal training, his young age, and general laziness proved to be a hindrance. Unfortunately, his parents, worried for the safety of their son, had contacted the Suarez estate in Italy, and they had come to the states to track Raul down. However, the chase was not an easy one. If there was one thing Raul could do, it was run. He evaded his pursuers for two years, surviving where he could. He didn't even know why he was running. Capture meant a warm place to live, good food, and all the knowledge a six hundred year old family can offer. But something about it just didn't sit right. Maybe he wanted freedom, maybe he didn't want to have to accept a whole new persona and way of life for people who hadn't cared about him for most of his life, maybe he just didn't like to lose. By the time retainers of the Suarez family tracked him down, Raul was living mostly in the streets.

He was carried off to Egypt at the age of 21, formally indited into the Nassar family, and encouraged to continue his study. Which he tore into, although he feigned a begrudging attitude. While lacking a large number of quality magic circuits, Raul took the handicap as a challenge and continued to perfect spells that suited his non-confrontational personality. After a great deal of goading, Raul grudgingly accepted the position of Heir, and eventually the family crest (Although by family tradition he will not run the family affairs until the death of his predecessor, in this case his first cousin twice removed).

Having little interest in running a fading family, Raul began searching for a solution, not out of love for the family, but out of his own love of solving problems, and the Suarez family had some massive problems on the horizon. It was in his studies that he learned of a new Holy Grail War that would be starting in Russia. If the Suarez family won it would bring much needed prestige to the name, and surely he could find some use for the grail. He began making preparations, his coat, his bag, and (after a little goading of his own) the family heirloom, Pragmatist's Eye. A Servant? He'll take care of it when he got there. This was going to be a challenge, possibly the biggest challenge of his life. Raul Suarez set his alarm clock (a first in his life) before his flight to Russia, and dreamed dreams of locks and keys.
MageCraft
Wind/Pure Eyes
Spells

Wind at my FeetWind
Creates a small whirlwind around the Caster's feet, greatly increasing the velocity of the next step and essentially launching the caster forward horizontally at great speed (about 10 meters per second) allowing for long leaps or quick getaways.
The spell is only used for the initial burst and the landing can be rather painful. (Rolling is recommended)

Inspector's LensPure Eyes
Activated by making a Len's symbol over the Caster's eyes, as if looking the lens of a spyglass, and channeling Prana into the eyes. It allows the user to see a kind of "trail" left behind by a being with a high density of prana in their bodies . These trails appear as a blue aura following the paths and covering objects interacted with recently. The more prana the being exudes, the more prominent the trail and the longer it lasts, generally a trail will remain visible for about 24 hours for a magus and up to three days for a Servant. The 'Lens' attuned to the user's prana and thus their trails do not appear, in order to avoid confusion.
If the direct source of prana is viewed (for example, looking directly at the magus through the lens) Then that source's prana trail takes on a unique color to better identify the source. The speed of dissipation,however, remains the same.
