MAJOR DEEJ UNIVERSE

Professor Randall Jacob Ruhn II once was the greatest experts on the paranormal - that is , until over three decades ago, when demons possessed him during one of his investigations.

 

Although a secretive man, Professor Ruhn was cast into the TV and media spotlight by way of his incredible discoveries in the paranormal and demonology.  In several instances, he had 'exorcised' demons from homes and locations without incident.  Several years ago, he encountered a demon that did not want to leave; the location was an orphanage.  The demon started possessing the children, hurting them and killing them. 

​

When the media and local politicians got involved, they ostracized and blamed the professor for not doing enough, even though he'd been working feverishly for days to stop the incursions.  Finally, exhausted and out of options, he unleashed a spell from a grimorie he kept with him; a spell that would take control of the demon, but may also infuse the demon's essence into himself.  

​

As he cast the spell, he was attacked by invisible claws and what felt like  fiery whips, all slicing at him from all directions.  In the last passage of his incantation, a clawed attack caused him to pause in the recital, distorting the spell.  It vanquished the demon, however, it fused the professor with the demon's powers...and desires. 

​

Due to his possession, the demon inside him eventually took control of Ruhn long enough to viciously kill Ruhn's own wife and three children (one child, however, may not have been killed, and instead has secretly been listed as 'missing' for all these decades).

​

In emotional despair over the loss of his family and empowered with control of lesser demons, a hellfire whip and wounds that would not heal properly, he was banished by the first-ever secret cabal of western arcanists (outside of the Conglomerate) to "Inaccessible Island" in the South Atlantic, where Ruhn would never be able to harm anyone if he lost control of his new powers.

​

Unfortunately, the newly formed rebel nation of 'Oceania' took control of Inaccessible Island and all the island that made up the St. Helena Island system, thus placing him under the control of Oceania.  Within weeks, the Governor, Sir Goldstein, accommodated Ruhn's needs, providing him magical artifacts, wards and runes that aided in controlling the demon spirit trapped in him.  Over the last 20 years,Ruhn had lost control of the demon spirit only several times.  Ruhn was extremely thankful to the governor for his help and swore allegiance to him and Oceania.

 

Over the next couple of dozen years, he mastered the paranormal and became an arcane specialist.  In controlling demons, he was found to be a one of only a handful of people that could actually breach dimensional barriers by letting out demon minions and beasts to control.  As a result, Ruhn became one of the foremost parapsychologists in the western world (without having to to a part of the secretive magical society known as "The Conglomerate", which he knows exists, but has never interacted with).  He reaches arcane studies at the University of Oceania, and is also a member of the Champions of Oceania super team, but under the code-name of  "Rune 101"!
