Background:
Looking down at the young scion of Caliphas society, working labouriously at his sums, Simeon couldn't help but curl his lip in derision, quickly replace by a calm look of attentiveness when the young man looked up for help. "Carry on, Tophas, remember your lessons.". Walking away, Simeon gazed out the window at the park-like grounds, his mind looking back... His father had been a tutor, helping the moronic offspring of the city's elite make their way through the halls of upper-learning,to take their places within the military or bureaucracy, their
Filled with knowledge from his father, Simeon was also filled with tales of the fantasic and supersitious from his Mothers' mother, as woman from the country , telling the young Simeon tales of
Growing older with a solid grounding in the sciences and the unnatural underbelly of Ustalav, Simeon entered the University of Caliphas, using his father's connections in the admitting department.
Even with the Professor's encouragement, the orthodox environment of the University finally spelt an end to Simeon's career as a lecturer, 6 years of probing and examining the nature of
A pounding on the door broke Simeon's reverie. "Continue!" he snapped at he labouring Tophas. Striding to the door, he found a courier, with a message to himself. Snapping the
Taking a deep breath, he nodded to himself I will depart tomorrow, but now I must prepare. Ending the lesson, Simeon hurried to his small flat and made the necessary preparations, then retired for the night to be fresh in the morning for travel. He was awoken early but knocks at his door.
Answers:
How do you know the Professor? I met Petros 10 years ago, I was an undergraduate at the University of Caliphas. He was presenting a lecture on the Comparitive Metaphysical Differences between the Undead of Ustalav and Osirion, fascinating it was. I asked him a few questions afterward and he was impressed by my acumen. A mentorship of sorts started then, we exchanged many letters and when possible met in person. How close was your relationship and for how long? Were we friends? I suppose one could say so. Professionally we had great respect for each other, even when I clashed against the orthodoxy, he was a staunch ally. Why do you think, he chose to think of you among the many hundreds that he had worked with or had known? I impressed him. Perhaps he saw in me his equal and sought to engage himself with a mind similarly endowed as his own. Why are you in Ustalav? Born and raised as they say. Do you live here? I just answered that question. Weren't you listening? What are you doing for a living ? Unfortunately, univerisity politics prevent me from my vocation, lecturing the young minds there. Presently, I tutor the idiot sons of the city's upper crutst. What drives you? What are your passions and what are your goals? I try to quell my passions, knowledge is unemotional. My primary subject of interest is the age of the Whispering Tyrant. Yes, yes I see you pale at the mention of that creature.
What do you fear? What is fear but the minds flailing about in the darkness of ignorance. I try to equip my mind with the surety of knowledge. What do you hate? Those that would stamp out the pursuit of knowledge, however distateful, merely by the dictated of their stultified social mores. Poppycock! Do you have any secrets? <looking sly> Indeed! Look here < opens pack , and brings out small wooden box> Herein, I keep a little reminder of the enemies of life ! Look! Look! < Within the box, lined with metal, barred by a mesh of wire is a skeleton of a mouse.> What is your appearance and how do project yourself to others? Not prone to frequent washings due to my preoccupation with research , the sallow skin of my face is often graced by a few locks of limp greasy hair. My doublet is often stained,both with ink and food.
