Oliver Hawke grew up amidst the fog-laden streets and historic halls of Cambridge, UK. Born into a family with deep roots in academia and antiquarian pursuits, he had an early immersion in the rich world of rare manuscripts and aged tomes. From a young age, he exhibited an uncanny knack for identifying the most intricate aspects of book-binding, decoding hidden symbols, and tracing the origins of long-forgotten volumes. By his mid-twenties, Oliver had become a sought-after consultant in rare book appraisals, and his meticulous touch made him a respected figure among the exclusive circles of private collectors and library curators alike.
Yet, Oliver felt a persistent restlessness in his soul, one that he couldn't shake even as he dedicated his nights to his passion. Despite his worldly achievements, something was missing — a sense of incompleteness he couldn’t name. He’d often find himself lingering late into the night, poring over books on theology, mysticism, and sacred music. It was as though he were seeking an answer, an idea that hovered just beyond the veil of his consciousness.
One fateful evening, while cataloging a series of medieval hymnals in a remote Scottish library, Oliver stumbled upon an unusually illuminated manuscript that left him transfixed. As he traced the faded gold leaf of an intricate holy symbol, he felt a pull—an overwhelming sensation that the symbol was calling out to him. His pulse quickened, and an inexplicable warmth settled over him, comforting and electrifying all at once. This moment marked the first of many inexplicable experiences, with a presence he couldn’t ignore, nor fully understand.
Since that encounter, Oliver has felt compelled to seek out works that align with the mystic and the divine. His collection began to shift, growing to include not only the rare and arcane but works imbued with themes of spiritual longing, divine mysteries, and choral harmonies. Every so often, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to a particular passage or melody, feeling as though he’s catching echoes of a great harmony beyond the mortal realm.

As a player, I am a firm believer of in-character consequences brought about by my character's in-character actions. I am not keen on "random dude" attacking me out of nowhere.
I am specifically disinterested in any OOC drama.
