Long story short, he's a middle-aged Sherlock Holmes-esque character. He's built purely for roleplaying purposes and is not at all optimized for combat. In his younger days, he was the son of a noble family who was sent off to join the Pathfinders when he started getting into trouble. The "spoiled rich kid goes to boot camp" bit. He served as a Pathfinder for 20+ years, joining the Sleepless Agency as a detective during his tenure and then retired to his family home in Ustalav when it was all said and done, taking on full work for the Agency now. His time in the field and his age have turned him into a grizzled veteran and he can quite often come off as the grumpy old man. He's got a keen eye and sharp senses that keep him poised and attentive to the world around him. He has a mule that travels with him (yes, he's named Watson; we came up with it during the first failed game I played through with this character). I did take both the Rich Parents traits for additional gold which was spent on items of luxury (pavilion tent, rations, etc.). Don't expect many failed Perception, Diplomacy, or Knowledge checks with this guy around. Also expect to live as luxuriously as possible as long as you're traveling with him.
