Vinculus

Played by Paul Kaye

The king of the Street Magicians. From his tattered, yellow-curtained booth in Threadneedle Street, he sells spells, dispenses curses, cures warts and tells fortunes.

For all the world, this striking-looking person seems to be the very picture of the charlatan: the distillation of everything that society finds disrespectable about practical magic. However, there is more to this pie-thieving, hard-drinking lunatic than meets the eye. He has a mysterious inheritance: a book. A book belonging to the Raven King, which, he says, holds a prophecy concerning the return of English Magic, and the two magicians who are destined to bring it back.
