Count Graduon

Count Graduon was an ancient and wise wizard, who preserved his life by trapping his own soul in a staff, so that the death of his physical body would prevent him from passing on, and he could live in spirit form in the staff. He was also cousin of Count Plot Cohesuon. In the early days of the colonisation of America, Count Graduon and Count Plot Cohesuon sailed into the new world from their homeland of Molvania, seeking to start a new life. When they arrived in an unpopulated area of the east coast, they were greeted by a group of Cherokee who had become seperated from the rest of their clan. Count Graduon was willing to work with the natives to set up a small civilization of their own, and try to resolve things peacefully. Count Plot Cohesuon however, wanted to enslave the Cherokee to force them to build the new Molvanian encampment for them. The group split up, taking sides with whichever Count they supported, and civil war ensued. The Cherokee were unfortunately killed during the conflict, taking sides with Graduon. Long after everyone else had died, Graduon and Plot Cohesuon continued their battle across the land. Graduon would eventually trap himself within the staff, and would from then on battle his cousin through the assistance of a "Gaurdian of Graduon", whilst Count Plot Cohesuon later developed the clever plot device known as reincarnation, and simply kept bringing himself back to life.

By the modern day, Graduon's gaurdian was a witch's coven in CWCVille, who at Graduon's request worked closely with city officials to hunt down Count Plot Cohesuon, who by that point was a known public enemy. As the members of the coven were aging, Graduon later left them and made Mary Lee Walsh his new gaurdian, after he met her when she came to him asking for him to cure a Curse-Ye-Ha-Me-Ha that had been placed on her. He powered her magical abilities ever since, and taught her how to use her dragoness form.

Count Graduon appeared once in Issue, when Jason Kendrick Howell and Mary asked him for advice on what to do about the rampaging Sonichu, shortly after he killed Naitsirhc Giovanni. Graduon told them that he sensed dark times ahead, possibly referring to the oncoming plane attack from Ian Brandon Anderson, and told them that they should be cautious. When the plane attack in question actually happened, and they lost Jason and Captain Bagget in the middle of it all, Graduon ordered the immediate release of the imprisoned Plautistic, so that he could be used against Sonichu. Joshua Martinez then merged with the Plautistic, and the multi-headed monster that resulted wielded Count Graduon's staff to power itself. After Sonichu killed the Plautistic however, Graduon fell to the ground, defeated. His ultimate fate remains unknown, but he is speculated to still be burried underneath the ruins of 4-Cent.
