Winston Gray

Winston Gray is the son and only child of Garamond Gray in Second City's future. He was an apparently low-functioning autistic savant before his father's application of the Convergence Enchantment.

Winston remembers almost nothing about his childhood and does not blame his father for giving him an otherwise normal life, whatever the cost might have been. Despite losing his magical mimicry talent and a raw power level rivaling that of Lucian, he is determined to learn everything he can.

Like the Winston he was named for, Winston Gray uses his innate intelligence and dedication to be become one of the most powerful magical practitioners in Entropaen history. His skill eventually seems to surpass the power he was born with - and even that of Adrian and Honor.



Trivia
"'It is what it is, and if I'm really not 'me' anymore, I'll become myself all over again. You don't have to be weird or attention-grabbing to do the greatest things.' "- Winston, to Honor about his Convergence Enchantment.
 * Winston considers Winston Lear and Adrian his greatest sources of inspiration.
 * Winston is rather shy and softspoken, and this never changes.
 * A popular Second City rumor states that Garamond and Winston Gray are actually descended from a hidden non-magical child of Winston Lear and Nora Gray before the time warp. Honor is naturally horrified by this, as Nora and Winston were both vocally childfree in their romantic partnership (not to mention the admitted pride hit that such excellent sorcerers would produce a non-magical child!).
 * Before the Convergence, an empathetic Honor secretly spent time with Winston in Nora's form. She played board games with him while telling him stories about Second City's past (or just rambling to fill the silence). Winston does not remember this afterward and hence does not expose Honor's true identity, much to Honor's relief.
