This is a Grail War in the united states, hell in a major US city. Trust me there are going to be plenty government agents around(with black ops back up at that) and they are going to know exactly what is going on too.
Michael Weston's entire shtick was that he got framed for something, causing him to get stranded in Miami with all his financial resources frozen, his job history non-existent, and all his official contacts and almost all of his unofficial contacts refusing to speak with him.

He winds up doing odd jobs for people who have trouble with criminals, while trying to figure out who framed him, off extremely limited resources. Words and MacGyver-ing are his main tools (alongside cool sunglasses), and all his MacGyver-ing is stuff that actually works IRL and is accompanied by narration explaining how it works, why it's a good idea, or why it's unexpected.

His MacGyver-ing is shit like making a car bullet resistant by cutting open the inside walls of the car to line them with phone books, and countless different ways to turn a cellphone into a wiretap.

You know what, fuck it I'm curious enough to see what this amazing never before seen magic is.

Biography
Name: Dr. Seward Atherton Huxtable
Occupation: Proper Gentleman
Age: 45 (born 1971)
Gender: Male
Wish: ???

History: Born as the heir apparent to the Huxtable bloodline, an English Magus family of middling accomplishment and little renown, Seward had been inured to the ways of the Moonlit World from a young age by his parents. He was not spared a single gruesome detail of what transpired in the darkness that lied in humanity's shadow, causing him to grow up with a vivid fear of vampires sneaking in his bedroom window at night and dragging him off to eat him alive or do Magecraft to him for the rest of his natural life and beyond. Despite the best efforts of his caretakers to instill a sense of pride and courage in the young Seward, the pressure of a standard Magus upbringing instead broke him down brick by brick and left behind a nervous wreck unfit to inherit the family Magic Crest.

Throughout his youth, his cousin Nigel remained a steady rock whom Seward could lean on when his own confidence faltered. Needless to say, he was leaned on quite often. While Nigel did not possess any significant signs of prodigious talent, his excellent bearing made for quite the convincing case when he took up the mantle in Seward's place. Seward, free from his obligations to the lifestyle he despised, opted to undertake a public education so as to divorce himself from the Moonlit World's workings and acquire the skills needed for a career wherein he might be able to act as an independent, functional adult. Over time his confidence was restored by social contact with mundane folk whose friendly disposition and helpful attitude brought a youthful vigor to Seward's life that had never quite been there before. This path eventually led him to his enlistment in the British Army in service to the crown and as a means of seeing a glimpse of the world beyond the confines of England.

Seward became a veteran of the Gulf War in the early 90s, the rigors of which motivated him to finish his training and become a surgeon so he would no longer have to bear the weight of his fallen comrades weighing on his conscience. Seward later retired from Her Majesty's Armed Forces, fatigued by his experience on the battlefield, and applied his medical knowledge for a surgical career he hoped would be less stressful. Even as he tried to escape from his fears, his desire to secure the lives of those in need continued to outstrip his hunger for a quiet life. Seward acquired a not inconsiderable sum of wealth from plying his craft, which he now rests upon soundly.


Abilities
Magecraft (E-): The brunt of Seward's thaumaturgical skills lie rusted and long-forgotten, withered away by decades of misuse. His mystic repertoire is limited to distant recollections of basic Reinforcement and the like.

Sharpshooting (C-): Seward is a crack shot with a pistol or other sidearm thanks to his military training. However, a lack of practice has led to his skill deteriorating over time. Currently equal to an effective D-Rank.

Surgical Procedure (B): One of the few skills that Seward hasn't let dull with time is his proficiency in medical procedure and surgical operations. In a life-or-death situation, his knowledge and precision make all the difference in the world.

So, we're magical Watson from the new BBC Sherlock. I like it, hopefully we can call our brother with a "hey, I'm stuck in the holy grail war, please help".
 
So we've never done any subtle Reinforcement of our surgical tools in an effort to more effectively save lives on the battlefield?
