I’m going with this way in, I’ll include it in the Woad’s final backstory. With his start in House Merinita he has some enemies from among Cliffheart’s magi but not the entire House (Enemies Story Flaw).
Once I nail the final design I’ll advance him 1-2 years since I’d like to start play with a basic Talisman. After that the Woad was looking for a change of political climate, and that’s why he took Santiago up on his offer.
I’m still one Virtue point short, and looking for something appropriate without it being powermongering.
