Arthur Garrett Haines

Image

Race: Galdor
Birthday: 22 Yaris 2678
Age: 39
FC: Richard Armitage

Place of Origin: Vienda, Central Anaxas
Current Location: Vienda, Central Anaxas
Occupation: Investigative Captain of the Seventen

Physical Description

Image

Arthur is quite the striking figure. Tall for a Galdor, standing at five-feet and nine inches, he towers over most of his ilk, striking an imposing figure. His dark hair is starting to salt-and-pepper, but his beard thick, trimmed beard is very much still black. Piercing sea-blue eyes stare from deep sockets, enhancing the effect that he looks as if he's seen a ghost.

He is well-built, muscular from his training and constant physical upkeep required by the Seventen. He often wears a tailored suit, dark in colour, while prominently displaying his six snaps.


Personality

Image

Terse and quiet, Arthur's personality has been tempered by years of training and practice. Through systematic indoctrination, he is suspicious of any race that is not galdori, but is still far less racist than the average galdor. He prefers to make the choice for himself, rather than allow anyone to make that choice for him. He is stubborn and hard, but will admit he is wrong when proven so. It's this that makes him so desirable, though, as his superiors have always like him for his honesty and willingness to accept responsibility, and his underlings have respected him for admitting his faults.

His greatest strength, though, is his observe-first, act-after attitude. He is hardly ever rash, and often weighs options before taking any actions. Sometimes, this leads him to appear indecisive, but he is not. Instead, he's cautious. Not many know this, but a lot of his caution now is because his wife just had a daughter, Miranda.


Backstory

The son of the prestigious Investigative Captain Harry Haines, Arthur was born destined for his path. As a child, he was perceptive and quick, learning how to walk and speak faster than others his age. His mother, Agatha, was loving and motherly, encouraging her son to greater heights. As a toddler, he was making complex connections and had soaring pattern recognition. He was, by all accounts, a prodigy.

Until the Exam.

He scored one of the lowest scores of his family on his Exam into Brunnhold, scoring a four out of ten. His father, whose own score was an eight, was disappointed, and it was then that Arthur decided to best him. Not just in magical pursuits, but in life. He worked harder, studied more, eschewed a social life... All of this to graduate Brunnhold with exceptional credit, and he was sent to Numbrey the day after he graduated for training. He chose the Investigative branch because of his natural perception, and the Conversation he chose to specialize in, and rose quickly through the ranks.

His connection to his father didn't hurt.

His father was long retired before Arthur earned his sixth snap, and was named Investigative Captain. That was four years ago, and since, he's been one of the most effective Captains in the organization. After the birth of his daughter, though, he just wants to retire. But he can't, not until he finds a suitable replacement.
