Worshipful Master John Ashcroft

John Ashcroft is arguably the best example of the strange imbalanced powers considering that he is in charge of the local Masons, who are the magical powerhouse in the area (they are one of the smaller cabals allied with the White Council, some of their members are wizards in any practical measurements, but none are members of the White Council proper) without a single magical ability to his name. Ashcroft has risen up to his current position entirely by currying favor and being a brilliant political manipulator (it also helps he's sharper and more insightful than most of the magical members.

In his day life, Mr. Ashcroft is actually an economics advisor to the Mayor.
