KULT: Divinity Lost - Fitzroy Braithwaite, brainy teacher

Now, PC2 in our little KULT boarding school.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Violence against teenagers

Fitzroy Braithwaite is a teacher of English literature and biology. He is an Academic, in terms of archetypes. He was hired last year, months after his goddaughter and niece Clarice vanished without a trace. She was a student here, you know? And now no one can remember her. No one but Fitzroy. (Dark Secret: Strange Disappearance)

Last year he made no progress in finding out what happened and had indeed started to think that he was delusional, when he ran across Laura, at night, when fetching a snack from the kitchen. He realized the condition she was in, at least in general. Specifics he learned when he spent some time, increasingly eager to learn more. As shaken as she was at the time she doesn’t remember most of the conversation, as he learned with some subtle probing later. He was ready to believe her story, and since then he has been invigorated in his search. Obsessed, really (Disadvantage: Obsession). One issue is that some of the things Laura told him during that night in the kitchen have given him (Disadvantage: Nightmares). Fitzroy was educated in Berkley (Advantage: Elite Education), and still is in contact with many of his school friends (Advantage: Academic Network). When in school he joined the fencing team, and he has kept up the habit of training regularly (Advantage: Elite Sport [Fencing]).

His Attributes are Willpower 1, Reflexes 2, and Fortitude 0, as well as Reason 3, Intuition -1, Perception 2, Coolness 0, Violence 1, Charisma 1, and Soul -2. A very tall man at 190cm, he is razor thin, and always dressed in what might as well be a uniform - tweed, elbow patches, glasses, the works. All of that goes well with his grey hair. Weirdly also with his easy smile.

As for Relationships, I will say Laura counts as the one ‘he hired for an experiment’, which means Relation +0. The Careerist he once met at a conference, well before they both worked here (Relation +0). Finally, the Veteran also went to Berkeley at the same time, and they have remained friends since then (+1 Relation in both directions).

As for NPCs, he cares deeply for his sister Trudy (+2), and his remaining nephew Carl (+1). The principal, Martin Nesbitt, is someone he sometimes has a chat with (+0).

And that will be The Academic.
