Hayden Cartwright was born and raised in London living a fairly normal life for the first sixteen years of his life. The teenager got average grades, did well in sports, got into fights at school and had a few run-ins with the law, mostly for illicit substances and petty crime. Hayden was, for the most part, considered a good, smart kid who fell into the wrong crowd.

After setting himself “straight,” his mother decided that him studying abroad would be a good experience seeing Hayden’s actions as one of a boy who was not intellectually stimulated. Sunnydale, California was suggested by one of Hayden’s friends and it looked suitable to everyone involved, so there he went.

It didn’t take long for Hayden to figure out something was terribly wrong. Fortunately for him, he survived his first encounter with a vampire, tripping it into a branch and accidentally dusting him. Shocked, but oddly intrigued, Hayden decided to stay in town to study. The teenager isn’t much of a demon hunter (yet), mostly interested in just doing what he can do to survive, protect his friends, and to gather information.

Statistics

Statistic	Level	Reason
Strength	Above average for human	Hayden is naturally athletic, and this athleticism has been nurtured, to some degree by being forced into sports and being in more fights than he cares to admit. Prior to coming to Sunnydale, Hayden was already interested in keeping himself in good shape. For a teenager his size, Hayden packs a decent punch.
Speed	Above average for human	Hayden is naturally athletic, and this athleticism has been nurtured, to some degree by being forced into sports and being in more fights than he cares to admit. Prior to coming to Sunnydale, Hayden was already interested in keeping himself in good shape. He is quick, but not exceptionally so.
Martial Arts	Some training	Much of Hayden’s training is through informal, random brawls that he claims he tries to avoid. He has some formal training in fencing, but for the most part Hayden learns his fighting skills through practical use.
General Magic	???	Hayden claims he only knows a tiny bit of magic, having only started studying it very recently. It may very well be the truth.
Aligned Magic	???	Hayden claims he only knows a tiny bit of magic, having only started studying it very recently. It may very well be the truth.
Mental Magic	???	Hayden claims he only knows a tiny bit of magic, having only started studying it very recently. It may very well be the truth.
Magic Endurance	???	Hayden claims he only knows a tiny bit of magic, having only started studying it very recently. It may very well be the truth.
Researching	Exceptional	Between opportune bribes, being at the right place at the wrong time, some hacking ability, access to a watcher’s archives, and good old intuition, Hayden generally knows far more than he lets on.
Vitality	Exceptional for human	Between endurance training for track, higher than average pain threshold, losing far more brawls than he admits to and being a naturally tough Cockney boy, Hayden can take a fairly ridiculous beating.
