Editing Nobilis A Random Bunch:Harry (section)

==History==
Grew up in the US. Had a passionate interest in history as a child, got into college, took a couple courses, and bailed because all the history he was learning about was people dying in terrible ways as the result of idiotic mistakes by corrupt people.

He switched majors into business (which he finds completely dull) - his parents felt he was stupid for going into history anyway - and started reading fantasy novels.. and found himself especially interested in Tolkien's work; he's tried his hand at writing and especially at world-building, but has never had the courage to show anyone anything he's produced. He has, in short, retained the passion for history.. but only for histories that never were, because they don't break his heart.

He's since graduated and has spent the years advancing into the business world - he's now 35, for the record - and has spent the time concealing his nature from pretty much everyone. He's had a few relationships, but they've never gotten very far because any similarity to the kinds of people he meets is a facade. He's just another stuffed-shirt middle manager as far as everybody he deals with knows.
