social goal: "Sir, I have no ambitions, I rely upon my reputation for pure and utter ... utter ... what was it you said, if you could be so kind?"
-
professional goal: "You're not with the police, are you? No? Good, then I am Dr. Pratt. You have not heard of me? Of Dr. Pratt's Answer for Nightgaunts? Of the translator of ... of ... various important texts, I will have you know!"
-
romantic goal: "I have no time for the distasteful rites of Venus, please take off your clothes and wait over there, madam. I shall be with you shortly."
-
nemesis: "I have been brought low by the disesteem of society, quick in its judgements ... did I mention Lady Armitage was already dead? She was dead when I came in ... very advanced years, the lady was ... that's a nice moggie ... don't touch that, it's very bad for you ... stay away, girl ... "
A native of Bristol, third of four children of a country clergyman; educated at Callow Hall, then studied magic at St. Godolph's in London, and went into private practice in 1855. Your family had high hopes for you when you showed promise as a sorcerer -- but after you moved into a Society practice in 1855, fast company and vice brought you down. A couple of major scandals ruined your practice and reputation. You once were a member of several London clubs and societies, but the high fees ended your membership in those which did not expel you -- you now only belong to the Pelican Club. Your landlord's daughter Gloria comes up to make (poor) food and (barely) clean up. You know English, French, and poor German, Latin and Greek. His magics are here.
Within your shabby top-floor apartment in London are the dusty and cat-clawed remnants of a mis-spent career as a Masonic mage. You are a third degree "Master Mason".
