Trick or treat! Meet Hayden Hawthorne, the Headless Horseman. Yes, the Headless Horseman – the man, the myth, the legend of Sleepy Hollow.
     The thing is, he's not really missing his noggin’. What you’re seeing, or not seeing for that matter, is just an elaborate magic trick at play. The ghoulish decapitated rider and his eerie spectral steed are not a real dullahan – but rather, Hayden and his unicorn Salem putting on a wicked thriller of a horror show for some good ol' fashioned All Hallows’ Eve fun, in true gothic western style.
     Hayden is a cowboy like his father and a witch like his mother. This makes him a cowboy witch, and as all cowboy witches do, he partakes in cowboyish stuff during the day and witchy things at night. (Cowboys and witches are the same entity but separated by night and day.)
     Hayden is pumpkin spice and everything nice. Sure he’s made a thing of striking fear into the hearts of many as a phantasmic horror, but he’s got a big heart (and an even bigger dream). Wherever his journey takes him, he's sure to do a bit of chaotic good here and there along the way. But he’s definitely got somewhat of a delinquent streak, as well as a penchant for stirring up mischief and chaos in his pursuit of fun. You'll find that he's got more than a few magic tricks up his sleeve.
     Hayden wears a talking stylish green stetson hat named Andy. You heard that right, Andy is talking hat, and a handsome one at that. Andy will not hesitate to let anyone who will listen know what a fine piece of headwear he is. Aside from being a fancy garment, he’s supposedly Hayden’s familiar, but what he really is remains a mystery.
     Hayden lives at Heartridge Cabin, a magical abode in the Wicked Woods of the Moonstone Mountains. This cozy cabin is Hayden’s beloved home and the heart of the mountains. When Hayden is not out on one of his chaotic-filled adventures, you can usually find him at home, where there is always something magical to do. Healing the souls of all those who step through its doors, Heartridge is a haven with a strong foundation built on magic and love.
     Hayden meets all sorts of friends on his adventures. Magical folk, mythical beasts, troubled souls. Some, like Hayden himself, are quite different from how they’re written in the legends and fairy tales. Hayden wants to know their real story – who they are, their hopes, their dreams. Hayden has a dream of his own – to help lost souls find a home. His cabin is a haven for all those who seek comfort and a place to stay.
     Ask Hayden his occupation to make ends meet, and he’ll tell you he’s a “paranormal investigator”. As it turns out, ghost hunting is right up his alley (and also quite lucrative). Well, he doesn’t hunt ghosts – he helps them. Phantoms are just souls that wish to be put to rest, after all.
     Hayden isn’t any ol’ witch; he’s a Jasper. The Jaspers were a legendary coven of powerful witches who were hunted down to oblivion by a mysterious harbinger of evil known only as Conquest.
     Hayden’s parents, Dale Hawthorne and Vespera Jasper, were made aware of their son’s destiny. They did everything they could to ensure Hayden would live a happy and good life, including leaving him in the care of Andy. Hayden was given his father’s surname, Hawthorne, for protection.
     As a Jasper witch, Hayden is capable of harnessing powerful magic and witchcraft, but he has much to learn. Every day is an opportunity to practice old magic tricks and learn new ones.
     Hayden also has a secret (a shocking one that not even he knows of yet): he’s a Horseman – a harbinger of the end times. Specifically, the Fifth. He has four “brothers”: Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. Only a few know of the existence of a Fifth Horseman – Chaos. Little does he know, Hayden is Chaos incarnate whose fate is written in the stars: he is to bring about the world’s demise. But Hayden has other plans (like saving the world instead)... and perhaps the one thing that can challenge Fate itself, is Chaos.
