History

From a world where magic has all but died out
Magic - "It is more as if - the source has been stopped, and only a little remains in the well"
He has magic as well, but no one knows, and he'd be dismissed immediately if his master knew; his master is also magical

Met him when I had kitten ears on Halloween
He can cast spells such as a flame appearing or detect magic

He's worked for Mr. Norrell for sixteen years, first as a valet
The theory is that the world was borrowing magic from the kingdom of the Fae, which stopped when the Raven King left and "closed the door behind him"
