Biography

By the 870s, Stowe was known among the Hidden Ones as a go-between for the Order of the Ancients' many branches and as a collector for of Hidden Blades from fallen Hidden Ones. The local Hidden Ones in London collected information on him and other Order members, which they shared with Alva, a Viking from the Raven Clan looking for a specific blade that was likely in his hands. Due to Alva finding one of his letters detailing a meeting in London, she was able to track him down and kill him, chopping his head clean off with her bearded axe despite his having hired guards.

Legacy

In the 2020s, the security guard Joey relived Alva's genetic memories and experienced a conversation between her and The Connection in a Memory Corridor, where Stowe said he was glad Alva was his killer, saying that his death was only a setback for the Order, and revealed the location of the blade.
