Mr. Han

Mr. Han is the owner of the pawn shop and a wizard living in the Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Grizzled and disinterested, Mr. Han comes across as very grumpy, brash and somewhat rude.

Despite this, Mr. Han is seemingly willing to help the heroes out with matters of magical importance, albeit his methods are morally unscrupulous. As a wizard, Mr. Han is apparently quite skilled, as he was able to easily dispel a potent Arcane Lock spell and he managed an Induce Pain ritual by simply muttering the command word, meaning motionless magic is within his control. He is also considerably knowledgable about the world of the occult.

Background
Mr. Han's background is virutally unknown. He was born somewhere in China, where he learned magic. He moved to San Francisco sixteen years ago, where he opened the Pawn Shop.

At some time since then, Mr. Han met and became associates with Yaga, a fortune teller from Minneapolois.

About two years ago, he began renting out the apartment upstairs to Steve Catman. The two appear to be on friendly terms, as Mr. Han opens cans of cat food and tuna for Steve every day.

Origin Story, part 1
Mistigan came to his pawn shop seeking help deciphering an old journal he found in the possession of the Moon Clan. Mr. Han determined that the pages contained a dark ritual and after consulting the spirit world, determined Mistigan could help stop the Moon Clan's plan that night if he went to the Heaven's Gate night club.

Mr. Han later helped the heroes free a group of girls from an enchanted shipping tanker after they defeated the Moon Clan, and covered for them with the cops. Later that night, Mr. Han helped them interrogate the high priest by utilizing an Induce Pain ritual to torutue the cultist, but the priest goes mad before any information can be gleamed.

When the heroes began their individual courses of research, Mr. Han offered Mistigan a place to stay if he needs one.
