Editing Tanner Gilpin (section)

==Chronology==
He originally became [[aware]] after walking into a neighbour's house after a fire and seeing writing on the wall that told him the neighbour would die in hospital. When he went back the words had changed so he used an axe to remove that section of wall. He used the words to get into a good school and get an internship at a talent finding company, after that the words became more threatening.

He was noticed and recruited by [[Lawrence Bristow|Bristow]] and who used him in his [[Collector|collectors]] diagram, later Alexander [[Awakening|Awakened]] him and taught him [[Augury]]. This caused Bristow's diagram and school to fail.<ref name=":0">She handed the cup to Tanner.  Slightly inebriated.  Tanner had come into the circle through talent.  He’d found an auspice, an almost literal sign of things to come, writing on a wall that told of coming hardships, and through that entry point, had lost his innocence and found his way to contact with Others, then to the practitioner community.  Alexander had taken him under his wing to avoid letting other Augurs have him.  He picked things up fast and was good at politics.  Alexander sent him on a lot of ‘errands’, networking and doing business with other families.  Tanner had ''meant'' something very similar to what Seth had said, but he had the common sense that let him get away with it.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/07/11/stolen-away-2-z/ Excerpt] from [[Stolen Away 2.z]]</ref><ref>“Tanner, one of Alexander’s other apprentices, was supposed to be a student there,” Nicolette said.  “Tanner was aware, after he entered a neighbor’s house after a fire.  He saw words scrawled on the wall, telling the neighbor he was going to die in the hospital.”<br><br>“And he did?” Lucy guessed.<br><br>“He went back after he heard about him passing, and the words had changed,” Nicolette answered.  “He took an axe to the wall and took it home.  After he’d moved up in life, using the words, got into a good school, got a nice paying internship at sixteen, at a big headhunting and talent sales company, the words started getting vicious.  Telling him scary things that would come to pass a day later.  The landlord and head of the small private school found him.”<br><br>“And I took it upon myself to talk to Tanner about opening up his ability to see the future,” Alexander said.  “Awakening him.  Unfortunately, with a centerpiece of the diagram occupied elsewhere, the house of cards that was the second school became unbalanced and collapsed.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/15/leaving-a-mark-4-8/ Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.8]]</ref>

Bristow persuaded him to defect to his side during his battle with Alexander by offering him a position with a powerful family, residence at a conflux of power and introduced him to two potential mates.<ref>“Tanner?” Alexander asked.  “I know you and Lawrence have a history.  He sent you a Christmas card.  You talk from time to time, and you talk to Reid Musser, who talks to his father, who talks to Bristow.”<br><br>“Yeah.  He’s offered me a position with a powerful family, residence at a conflux of power.  If he becomes headmaster, I’ll have continued attendance here.  If not, then there are a few opportunities elsewhere.”<br><br>“And a girl,” Alexander said.<br><br>“He introduced me to two young women.  I’m fond of one.”<br><br>“Both very fine ladies, from what I could see.  Clever, talented in their respective practices, and pretty.  I would discourage you, about the work, the residence, and the marriage prospects, but I can see why you’re tempted.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/28/cutting-class-6-z/ Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.z]]</ref>

He helped [[Abraham Musser|Musser]] with his [[Lord|Lordship]] plan by doing readings for him. He predicted that in order to succeed they would need [[Florin Pesch]] and that [[Grayson Hennigar]] would either loss a son or that [[Abraham Musser|Musser]] will loss the [[Blue Heron Institute]].<ref>We need Florin Pesch in the early stages.<br><br>Grayson Hennigar will lose a son or you’ll lose the Blue Heron.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/10/26/fall-out-14-z/ Excerpt] from [[Fall Out 14.z]]</ref>

After the [[St. Victor's practitioners|St. Victors practitioners]] attacked the Belanger Household he refused to help [[Gillian Ross|Gillian]] by taking on the curse that turned her into a [[Horror]], walking away from the scene instead.<ref>- [[Let Slip 20.e]]</ref>
