Alfons Zitter's page

Dr. Alfons Zitter came to Grundy from Ustalav where he had held a position at Leipstedt University. The reasons for as to why Zitter left his academic career behind for the trading enclave in the river kingdoms however are unclear and cause to considerable speculation among the population.
In fact Alfons had gotten into trouble with the local authorities due to his involvement with organized crime in Ustalav. Fearing for himself but mostly for his young family he sought the protection of a geographical distance and a powerful patron in Tommy Two Tongues for whom he had been working in crafting poisons and drugs. Both lucrative side branches of Tommy’s wide spanning business network.
Zitter came to town 4 years ago with his wife and newborn child and set up shop ad practice where the doctor functions as a surgeon and apothecary. While there is talk in town about his past and rumor of illicit dealings with Tommy Two Fingers Alfons and particularly his wife Gabriele have established themselves well in the community and Gabrielle has even been voted into the town council. Alfons has recently begun teaching the towns children basics of biology and mathematics a fact that has gone quite a way to improve his reputation in town.

In his heart Alfons is still a man of science. Even if he may have forsaken the prestigious Leipstedt University for a podunk in the middle of nowhere the Dr. is still conducting research on human anatomy and recently began with his first volume on human organs. Much of his research has been conducted in secret self-experimentation a product of which is an odd familiar, a fleshmade little critter he calls Luzifer.
Alfons comes from a lowly uprising having been born in the gutter of Caliphas. The quick and witty youth began to run on the streets and was raised a scoundrel. However his eagerness to learn and make a name of himself brought him all the way to a position at the University of Leipstedt. Much of his financial baking was earned through the support of friends in high places of the Caliphas who however expected a return on their investment. And while Alfons always sought to live the life of an honest man his tie inns with crime have followed him all the way to Grundy.
Today Alfons, now a family man, wants to leave these fears behind but the situation with Tommy whom he owes many favors, including his nice new home have left him little choice. But not only his shady business partner but also the constant conflict with the law have lead Alfons to become somewhat paranoid. Particularly the relationship to Sheriff Letka Stonebarrow, whom he and Gabriele have befriended, is a delicate one that causes good natured Alfons much chagrin.

Gabriele Zitter is a beautiful (and noticeably younger) woman from Leipstedt. Her charm and ingenuity are responsible for establishing Apotheke Zitter, which carries herbs, tinxtures and other remedies. It is set up in a modest but tidy venue in the village center and frequently visited by travelers, crusaders and Grundy locals alike for its premium quality and excellent service. Besides their small shop the family maintains a respectable home a bit out of town near the woods where they employ two servants. Behind the façade of the friendly young mother and businesswoman Gabriele is quite the sleuth. As early as her teens she has was a successful con artist before she met and fell in love with Albert. Now she knows just how to cover up her husband’s illicit dealings and curry favors around town. She and Alfons have a daughter by the name of Maria who is 5 years old and quite the charmer. The girl spends most of her time with her parents at the shop or at home with Gertrun the maid of the house.
