I am Abanazar, a magician. I was living on the streets of China kidnapped by an evil circus ring master and forced to perform black magic to thousands. I was even better than dynamo! I became the most popular magician the East had ever seen. I was used by the evil Ring Master to steal the things that the audience gave up for the tricks, watches, money etc. I got wealthy and famous. When everyone realised my underhand activities I lost everything, my fame and wealth, even the circus didn’t want me because I was now worthless. So, I had to try and make it on my own. I went off into the world to build up my fortune again and won lots of money at the poker tables only to lose it again backing bad investments for inventions from my Chinese dragon’s den,( my lair). I then promised myself I would never be a nobody again. The circus made me bitter and resentful, though these are two of the things I like most about myself. I started to make plans for how to make the universe my own!
