Famed Comic book Author, High Priest of Glycon, And Cosmic Reinterpretationist

From Hell. Tom Strong. Watchmen. Alan Moore is thought to be one of, if not the, best writer of comic books today, most widely noted for his ability to take characters and archetypes already existing in the public consciousness and take them in radically new directions, boiling away all of the excess and deconstructing them until nothing remains except for the most absolute, pure kernel of truth remains. It started as a hobby, of course.
But then, over time, something happened. Moore was visited in his dreams by a long-defunct Roman Snake God known as Glycon, and while he slept, Glycon whispered the secrets of the Universe into his ear. The giant snake with a man’s face told Moore of old magic, and of the magic that governs the birth and rebirth of the entire cosmos. In exchange, Moore offered the deity his piety, and revitalized his dead church. Today, he is (superficially, anyway) a follower of Glycon and a leader of his people. But there’s a bit more brewing about inside Moore’s head than that.
For Moore knows something Glycon doesn’t know. Having built his “shtick” around making old things new, Moore understands that the only way to find the real, absolute truth of something is to destroy it and rebuild it again, each time stripping away everything but the barest essentials until you achieve perfection. The same, Moore reasoned, must apply to the Universe. But Moore knows the danger of bad reinterpretation as well. He’s seen first-hand how incompetent hands can befoul something once beautiful, and take it even farther from perfection than it started out. Which is why Moore feels something drastic needs to be done about the Invisible Clergy. After all, he’s yet to meet a single person who “gets” any story as well as he does, let alone 333. Moore wants to usurp the Invisible Clergy and reinterpret reality himself. He just needs to figure out how.

Name: Alan Moore
Personality: Old-Testament God.
Obsession: Reinterpretation.

Wound Points: 45

Rage: Movies. People spend how much money on these things? And world hunger is still, you know, a problem?
Fear: Looking Like An Idiot Because of Someone Else (helplessness). Nothing terrifies Moore quite so much as the idea of being made to look a fool because his name got stuck to something detestable.
Noble:Good Stories. Moore understands stories, he sees the truth and the power that they hold. If something threatens a good story, he gets moody. Of course, all of his stories are good stories, so all reinterpretations of them are threats to good stories (and all attempts to keep him from reinterpreting another’s work are likewise threats.)

What You’ve Heard: Alan Moore is currently locked in a brutal magickal struggle against rival Comicbook Occultist Dave Sim, who views Moore’s life of “sin and perversion” in the name of a “pagan deity” an affront to The One True God. It’s rumored that over the years they’ve dragged several writers into the struggle, and for a time Moore tried to include Neil Gaiman who declined, explaining that the whole thing was awfully silly and that they all ought to just calm down and curl up next to the fireplace with a good, classy fairytale or the like. Further reports of Moore devouring Gaiman’s children in retaliation and replacing them with the help of a powerful Epideromancer and three sadistic dwarfs to keep the whole affair under wraps are said to be wild exaggerations according to the more naïve members of the Occult Underground.
