Character sheet"I am a rake among gentlemen, and a gentlemen among rakes. I cannot promise that I'll rise to fame, wealth, or even that I will not end up at the bottom of the Ruith. All I can promise you is that I will be interesting."
Nathaniel was born in 1862 as the result of an affair between a married doctor and a nurse; Sielle Ritt . The doctor, despite his indiscretions, quite likely did love Nathaniel's mother. Despite never acknowledging Nathaniel as his child, the doctor sent enough money to support Sielle and her child in, if not comfort, at least several large steps above poverty. Sielle told Nathaniel about his father when he was old enough, but never identified him specifically. As an only child, he learned how to exploit boyish charm and glibness to take a mile when given an inch, and was often referred to as an "impossible" child. His status as a bastard made him a target, and he learned to exploit long limbs and quick reflexes in the absence of bulk.
When he was old enough, he trained to join the police under Commissioner Bernard. He had an aptitude for both the physical and mental needs of the job, being an excellent marksman, and talented enough with words to de-escalate situations before they began. He was frequently remarked on as a pretty-boy, both for his excessive grooming habits and fondness for scented soaps. Along with the other recruits, he gained a deep knowledge of the worst parts of town, though Nathaniel's knowledge of dive bars was a bit more... intimate than most. Regrettably, Nathaniel never became a full member of the Thrylian police. He made it to graduation, or rather, he almost made it to graduation. Turns out Commissioner Bernard had a daughter. A very pretty daughter. A very pretty, very bored daughter.
Instead of becoming an officer under Commissioner Bernard, he ended up destroying his chances of becoming an officer while under Commissioner Bernard's daughter.
After being drummed out of the academy, (though without a crime to his name) Nathaniel has become a sort of light-weight enforcer for legitimate establishments. He's not an officer of the law, but he's still a fair hand at getting through tough situations without letting them turn hairy, and he's pretty damn good at resolving them when they do turn hairy.
