My apologies. I read through everything but I got about 4 hours of sleepDrunkle Qrow Good post, but there are a couple of obstacles there I would like you to address. 1. The rats are everywhere, including the courtyard. 2. The building where Prenkus and Jon are, that is on fire.
I'll fix it as soon as I get home!

Another very good idea. ^^ I love it.
Howdy, Im back from my hectic weekend. I see that a lot has changed in the story
I have been thinking about some changes to the character. one of which is questionable and it is one that I have not worked up the courage to tell (I wont have it as a part of the character but it has been burning a hole in the back of my mind).
Anyways, I have an idea of a product from the incident between the character and the wendigo- seeing as that would probably be a traumatic experience. I have done some research on a certain product if traumatic experiences. DID is a disorder which is characterized with a disconnect between different Identities, memories, and even voices. These identities would have different names, personalities, preferrences, everything except the body that they share.

I'm still doing research on what exactly it does, and if anyone has tips on how to handle making a character with this type of disorder appropriately: I'll be glad to hear it (If this is allowed or approved by the gm of course... Im not sure if that is a good idea or not).
So my feedback is largely of an IC and OOC perspective. Which leads to the other concern; the average player/reader is likely to skim/skip interior monologue. Er, or at least I do. Mental illness isn't something I personally enjoy reading, as I've seen enough of it IRL. So it's about your goal. If you're content to enjoy multiple personalities for your own amusement, consider doing it. If you're hopeful that suffering from a mental illness will be something other characters/players will engage with, you might wish to reconsider since I've rarely seen a positive reaction.

I don't have a lot of experience playing characters like this. I do have some experience playing with characters like this, however, as they seem to turn up in every third or fourth game I'm in for some reason.
ICly, if these voices or personalities influence your character's behavior visibly, he's likely to be seen as mad and probably lockednitarium. If he had a really useful skillset, he might get a pass but everyone would be watching him to ensure he doesn't flip out and kill a dozen people or compromise the mission or something. Historic England (as with most places) had very little understanding or tolerance for 'crazy people'. That lack of understanding also meant that people with such disorders historically rarely recovered. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
OOCly, it's a risky choice. For one thing, it puts a lot more burden on you the player as you'd need to basically write out this mental landscape, what's going on in the character's head and be solely responsible for that, which is a lot more work than the average PC. Done well, it can be enjoyable, but it rarely seems to be done well.
Your mileage in this game may vary.
Ill try to find and avoid certain stereotypes within creating a character with this and I'll try not to make it anything light or edgy. I can also create conflicts not only with other characters but with himself and his own image. I have had a plan for him to fight this certain part of him that was indirectly caused by himself (long story) and changed his life; as well as it has become a part of the wendigo's form -that part is the second idea which Im not confident about-. He would have also has an aspiring goal to become a part of the Order, meaning that the thing that he despises is the thing that he must use to keep his dream alive. The extra personalities are there to build up this tension and essentially put more pressure to find some way to cope with this curse.

may I borrow your rat? Or if you were going to post before me, you can find the boy in your post.
I mentioned them so you can do what you wish. I would tell you IC if they weren't supposed to be seen.

accepted. Our companions are in the London slums, in a run-down apartment building room. We've just caught the boy witness to the case and there are assassins coming up through the staircase and one on the roof of the adjacent building.
Thanks for letting me know ^^
