Mahmoud (1914) beggar boy



An orphan, Mahmoud has lived by his wits for as long as he can remember. He knows of no family or relatives. For several years he has, each night, watched over the flowers and fruits in a minor nobleman’s garden and, in return, received a place to sleep and a simple meal every day. But now his employer is dead and one of the nobleman’s daughters has chased away the dirty beggar boy. Mahmoud has been weighing the possibilities of prostituting himself, flirting several times with a notorious procurer in order to gain a meal. 

Mahmoud is quick-witted, daring, and knows—or knows of—hundreds of useful Cairenes, but doesn’t quite know as much as he thinks he does. He is very familiar with the Old City and knows from whom he can get reliable answers—formidable knowledge in this teeming city.

Retired (session 36): Hans sent him to Europe to study and have a normal life.

Eugene Wilcox (1895)


Eugene Wilcox had always been fascinated by the idea of serving and protecting his community, so he decided to become a police officer. After completing his training, he was assigned to a patrol division in one of the busiest areas of London.

As a young officer, he quickly proved himself to be dedicated and skilled at his job. He was known for his ability to diffuse tense situations and his keen attention to detail. Despite the challenges he faced on the job, Eugene always remained committed to serving and protecting the people of London.

Eugene always found time to spend with his family. He was married with two children, and they were the light of his life. He was a loving husband and father, and they provided him with the support and motivation he needed to keep doing his job to the best of his abilities.

By 1925, Eugene had been on the force for over a decade, and he had seen and experienced many things during his time as a police officer. He had witnessed the worst of humanity, but he had also seen the best. Through it all, he had remained committed to his duty and to the people of London, and he continued to serve and protect his community with honor and distinction.

Retired (session 30): Having lost his wife during the events at Misr House, he decided to dedicate himself to raise and protect his kids.

Death (Session 45): Li Wen-Chang detonated a dynamite stick in Stanford's bedroom, killing himself, two of his companions, and the sorcerer.

Ferdinand Beaulieu (1898-1925)


Membro del Clero, Canadese.

10 Settembre 1898, -

Ferdinand Beaulieu,

Charles ed Isabelle Beaulieu, arrivano in Canada nel Gennaio del 1898. Charles e’ corrispondente estero per l’ambasciata francese a New Westmister, Isabelle insegnante di lingua Inglese. 

Ferdinand si e' appena aggiunto a questa loro avventura, ma solo due mesi dopo il loro arrivo, Isabelle comincera' a percepire che qualcosa sta' cambiando nel proprio corpo.

La gravidanza procede senza problemi e nella notte del 10 Settembre del 1898, Ferdinand Beaulieu viene accolto dai colori ed i suoni del mondo. Il nero del fumo ed il rosso del fuoco. Le urla della gente e le sirene dei pompieri. Il Grande Incendio di "New West" passera' alla storia come uno dei piu' grandi disastri di fine secolo della regione. 

Ferdy e' un bambino minuto e timido. Passa le giornata tra la scuola nell' indifferenza degli altri bambini. Ha sei anni quando gli impegni di lavoro, porteranno Charles nel letto di un'altra donna. Isabelle riversa sul figlio tutte le proprie attenzioni per non fargli sentire la mancanza del padre. Cominciano a frequentare la Chiesa locale, sperando di trovare nel Vangelo conforto e speranza. Da li a qualche anno Isabelle verra' spostata in una casa di cura per disturbi mentali a Toronto, dove risiede tuttora convinta che sia ancora il 1905, subito prima che Charles la lasciasse. 

Ferdy viene accolto nella chiesa locale come tanti altri bambini in condizioni di disagio. Ma dove Isabelle non aveva trovato le risposte ai propri dubbi, Ferdinand ormai adolescente, rinasce per la seconda volta. 

Introverso e curioso, passa le ore tra la piccola biblioteca nella sagrestia a quella cittadina. Nel silenzio delle sale piene di libri e preghiere, trova finalmente il suo posto nel mondo. Durante una visita alla madre, dira' di essere incuriosito da alcuni del residenti nella stessa istituzione. Comincia a rivolgere la propria attenzione verso coloro che "vedono il mondo in modo differente", cosi' come scrivera' nella lettera che accompagna la richiesta di assunzione nella stessa casa di cura dove risiede Isabelle, a Toronto. 

L'immobilita' dei ricordi della madre fermi al 1905, vengono immediatamente oscurati dalle storie di enormi rettili senza occhi, entità cristalline, umanoidi con la testa di elefante. Ferdinand scrive Quello che c'e' dentro di noi, una raccolta di annotazioni sugli ultimi mesi nella passati a Toronto. La invia ad un suo collega di studi alla diocesi di New York per un riscontro ed un mese dopo riceve in ritorno una breve missiva con un biglietto per la corriera destinazione New York.  

Gennaio 1925, New York e' ricoperta di neve, cosi' come Toronto.
