He was brought up to be a thief and trained in the art of being an assassin. However, he was able to achieve independence living on his own as a burglar, shaking his Keeper years ago.

When he’s captured by a wizard using a calling charm, the mysterious and foreign man seems like a replacement for the Keeper he was able to lose. Only the wizard has caught the wrong person, since he was seeking to get Felix Harrowgate instead. Now they’ve been put together into a similar situation. Is Mildmay and Felix coming together fate?
