The Prospector is an alien working for The Consolidation, an interstellar corporation that extracts the cores from planets and sells them for a profit. Unlike Nekross, the Prospector can be affected by magic. The Prospector was tasked with extracting Earth's core and selling it for a profit so he made a hyper-dimensional vault in Room 12 of King's Park High and started "recruiting" the school's teachers and pupils and also an Unenchanted man named Michael Clarke in order to use their mental energy to power his pulse drill.
