Nebuchadnezzar
Real name: Charles 'Charlie' Rosenburg

A man of medium to average height in his early thirties, Nebuchadnezzar is clean shaven with short curly dark (looks black or dark brown) hair, and generally a clean if not kept appearance. Black thick framed glasses tend to cover his eyes which are a sharp blue. He tends to favour dark clothing normally black shirt with a white tie and black trousers with a decent belt and middling to expensive watch. Casually he is known to own a short black leather jacket but almost never wears it. He is normally carrying drafting tools in a briefcase or has them nearby.

His Nimbus takes the form of a deathly silence, that slowly extinguishes all sounds around him and is slowly replaced by church bells and the feeling after laughter.

History

• Grew up in North London (St.John's Wood), in a well off reformed Jewish family.
• In 1999. His father, Joel, retired to a Buckinghamshire country home after the death of Charlie's mother, Sarah. He and his father have never really seen eye to eye.
• Has two brothers, Michael and Joseph, both now work in the Financial District. Charlie, the youngest of the three never really got along with them.
• Went to UCL to study Architecture & Structural Engineering, which was also where he met Rebecca.
• Married Rebecca Zara Goldstein in May 2004.
• Awoke December 11th 2009, three months after a car crash where he was driving. Rebecca also in the car, did not survive her injuries. This in fact was one of the major catalysts to his awakening, as it through him into a dark near suicidal depression. He discarded many friendships during this time, pushing people away and eventually awoke as he tried to throw himself into traffic.

Goals and Motivations

• The Tower

• Begin research on the Underworld and the Dead
  • Investigate Slum in Isle of Dogs for Ghost of a child.
    • Continue to visit Ryan until I can either get him to pass on or accept his ghostly nature.
  • Investigate Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital, South Kensington. Ghost of an elderly lady, check Paediatrics. Avoid Independent Cabal's who control the area.
  • Vampire Hunting?
  • Visit the underworld
    • and seek the Tower in Iseum
      • Briefly examine the orb found in the Tower. Archive away the orb.
      • Analyse the information found by examining the Tower in Iseum
    • Also study the nature of the Underworld in great detail
• Make sure Isis and Kenan don't get themselves in too much trouble.
• Gather political support to protect against the sentinels and other intruders onto the Aethenum.
  • Payback the Heirophant who lost control of the city for helping us keep the Sentinel's out.
• Help Artisan & the Forgotten City cabal investigating Freemason influence in the architecture of various sites in the city and what it means.

Ties to NPCs

• Voltaire, his former master during his apprenticeship with the Mysterium. Voltaire recently and quite prominently defected to the Free Council and attempted to bring many of students with him. Nebuchadnezzar has thus far refused to follow.
• His Dead Wife, Rebecca.
• Her brother and his brother-in-law and former best friend, Ari, who is a Real Estate Developer who owns several houses nearby. Though the two used to be close since Charlie's awakening he has distanced himself from Ari, partially over disagreements about the death of Rebecca and partially because Charlie doesn't want to get him involved in the danger of the life of the awakened.
• Joel Conrad Rosenburg, his estranged and frankly secretive father. The two men still don't see eye to eye and in many ways they blame each other for their wives death.
• Michael and Joesph Rosenburg, his estranged brothers.
• Jean-Lousie, former Heirarch and current Heiropant. Owed one favour.
