Role: Psychiatric Specialist, Human Stability & Threshold Mentality Division
Background:
Dr. Micah Ekunwe was born in Lewisham and raised by a single mother committed to public service. He pursued psychiatry through the NHS, driven by a natural empathy and a sharp clinical mind. His connection to the fae began with personal tragedy—his older brother, Dami, vanished for two days in Epping Forest and returned irrevocably altered, gripped by obsessions with birds, thread, and unseen watchers. Six months later, Dami took his own life. While the official diagnosis was schizophrenia, Micah remained convinced that something else had taken root in his brother’s mind.
His insistence did not go unnoticed. A quiet approach by FDG followed, offering a place where his medical training and his unresolved questions could serve a higher purpose. He joined the Human Stability & Threshold Mentality Division soon after, specialising in the psychological impact of fae exposure.
Skills:
Highly trained in psychiatric assessment and crisis intervention, with particular expertise in:
- Fetch delusion and identity erosion
- Mirror trauma and refracted memory syndrome
- Dream recursion disorders
- Cognitive fallout from proximity magic
He is often embedded within NHS crisis teams as a senior consultant, using his position to intercept and redirect cases with suspected fae influence. Maintains extensive, hand-written patient journals. Keeps a discreet profile, but his presence has a grounding effect on those around him.
Personality:
Calm, introspective, and profoundly empathetic. Dr. Ekunwe is known for his ability to hold space for the disoriented and haunted, rarely rushing to interpret what he believes must be gently coaxed into the light. He carries an unspoken grief beneath his composed exterior, a quiet sorrow that sharpens his compassion. Believes that post-fae trauma is not a pathology but “a kind of psychic aftershock—the soul’s recoil.”
Motive:
To understand the boundary between human cognition and fae incursion—not to close it, but to tend to those left standing at its edge. Every case is a step toward honouring the brother he could not save.
