Who’s Who: Jude of the Bruton Coven

Jude was attacked by a wolf once when he was very young, and developed a fear of most animals shortly after. He thinks there is some truth to the Babylonian belief that cats escort the dead to the underworld, while there has been no evidence to support this.

Random Facts:

1. Despite the various rumors, Jude has never dated anyone at AOA–not even Lenora. He’s biologically twenty-six, and has outright told students who have asked him out that the idea of dating anyone under the age of twenty “gives him the creeps.” There have been rumors of him dating a university student here or there, but none have been confirmed.

2. He finds puzzles pointless. It’s not that he can’t finish them–he’s found his way out of an escape room or two–but he sees them as a waste of time.

3. He watches more Nethru (occult Youtube/Twitch) than he would ever admit. KidxReject was his favorite streamer until he started pulling away from his Alphareign tournaments to stream his Bluenite multiplayer romps with hexdout and GoGoGlam.

4. Jude was attacked by a wolf once when he was very young, and developed a fear of most animals shortly after. He thinks there is some truth to the Babylonian belief that cats escort the dead to the underworld, while there has been no evidence to support this.

5. He’s not a member of any clubs outside of the AOA football and basketball teams, and has shown no interest in anything outside of his assignments and games. He finds the school festivals to be a bore.
