Rraaarr, and thunder doth shake the house. I really like how Sinclair's character page turned out (especially since I didn't use any references..maybe I am getting better at this), and I really like him in general, but his addition to the story actually gives it more of a story--which means that it will be harder to do. Since I might actually have to draw an action sequence or two. Scary.

Anyway, here's what I've figured out about him--he's 27 years old, and he was born in England (haven't decided where yet; the obvious choice is London, though) to a very poor family. The thing about his family was that, while he knew their poverty all his life, they were not poor before he was born (his father lost his job just before then). So his parents were kind of maladjusted, not being used to not having all that they wanted/needed and being doubly burdened by a son. He grew up mostly tending to himself, as both of his parents were often out either looking for work or working. Sinclair helped out by taking odd jobs when he was 12--usually things like babysitting or yardwork or whatever he could find. They were a very hardworking, decent family, actually, though his parents were always affected with a kind of strange depression that made Sinclair feel very guilty over his existence.

Another thing about his parents was that they were both well into middle-age when they had him, so by the time he was 14 they were in their mid-fifties. His father died of cancer when he was 18 and his mother died the year after--also of cancer (so it runs in the family, which means that he's very likely to get it... the main thing he's afraid of). By this time, Sinclair was out of school and ready for college. He was a smart boy and always made very good grades, and sent off applications to colleges both in London and in America. He knew the only way he would be able to attend an American college would be if he got a nice scholarship, which, as luck would have it, he did. So he took some of the money his parents left him and went to America. Despite the scholarship, he worked all through his academic career, putting the money he earned in with what was left of his inheritance. When he graduated, he took the money and began a business, selling/appraising/etc jewelry. He was interested in both the occult and in weaponry, as well, so he expanded his shop to cover those, making the store an odd amalgam of his interests. ^_^; He was a ruthless businessman, and still is, which is why he was nicely successful. As for how he fits in to KS, well, that will be explained. But that's his basic history, as it stands now.

And he wears the monocle just because his eye is bad. ^^; The other eye is fine, but it's usually covered by his hair, so.
