The Dresden Files

Harry Dresden - Chicago's Only Professional Wizard

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden started out rough. His infamous wizard mother died during childbirth, and his stage magician father joined her when he was still a young child. When his magic manifested in elementary school he was adopted and trained by a wizard, only for his first master to betray and try to brainwash him. Killing his first master in self-defense, he was captured by the White Council of wizards and put on trial for the death, as it broke the First Law of Magic. He was spared and finished his training under a much kinder master. Now he lives in Chicago and makes a name for himself in both the supernatural world and the mortal one, being the only one in the phonebook who advertises under “Wizard.” This thread covers the period before Harry became the Winter Knight, up to the midpoint of Changes. His reputation is so fearsome that supernatural entities avoid Chicago, fearing ’the mad wizard Dresden’ due to his repeated defiance and victories against impossible odds.
