Balancing the Karmic Scales
Background is still a WIP... something about growing up in a major city in India, getting a scholarship to a law school in America, and so on. He makes his living now as a defense lawyer specializing in black cat cases. I imagine he's got some connections to Paranet and Detective Timmons (an NPC cop who deals with black cat files). He knows the law can't fix everything, though, and he feels like he needs to balance out the bad karma that he believes led to his demonic heritage. Thus, he gets himself involved in some of his cases outside the court room, as well as other adventures in the weird and arcane.
More aspects and background details are needed of course, but I feel like I've got a good foundation here.
