Really?! I jest. It's all good. I think I just have a tendency to get lost in details, the affirmation of taking creative liberties, shall we say, was quite helpful!

And what better way to than to build a true alliance with the Habergam?

Personality

Often referred to as "that crazy history man" by his peers, Professor Otvoş is best described as an eccentric intellectual with an appetite for the strange and ancient. He often fantasizes about the various ancient cultures that existed before his own. However, juxtaposing this, he is deep-thinking and philosophical; being open-minded to a degree.

Talents

While he does have spectacles needed to read up close, his eyes when viewing distant objects are still superb at this age. He is highly aware of his surroundings to an almost frightening degree. He is known for spooking people with how reactive he is to a person's response or call.

• Violinist

• Memory Recall
• Chronological Thinking

Brief Historical Profile

Professor Sorin Iorghu Otvoş was born in 1788 to a large wealthy household consisting of not only his parents and siblings, but his grandparents too. Sorin's early years were dedicated to homeschooling and tutoring on part of his father's fears of violence in the streets after the revolt from four years prior. However, in those years he developed a deep fascination for antiquity from reading his father's books on ancient Greece.

By his pre-teenage to teenage years, he had fully moved to England. His father picking up a lucrative business deal with some industrious aristocrats. His mother became known for her violinist skills, which is where he came to learn the instrument. As for his education, he was placed third in his class after exams and later came to devote his early adult life to archeological expeditions. He traveled the world, partaking in some of the most significant archeological discoveries in the late 18th century.

His late twenties were found with him being partially isolated from his family and friends, choosing to engage with his studies rather than socialize. The result of this is graduation from the University of London with a Masters in archeology and easy promotion to a teaching position at the university due to his achievements over the course of his university career.
