Jovial, grumpy, piercing, keenly intelligent, eccentric, most people aren’t quite sure what to make of Everard at first. While he has been a fixture of the scholarly circles interested in studying the occult for some time, that history is marked with vicious disputes with colleagues, strange new theories, and a tangible passion for exploring topics others deem taboo. And yet, those who meet the man in person are usually quite taken by his easy manners and frank demeanor.
Never one to miss a bit of excitement, Everard has spent much of his life hopping from find to find in the wilderness, new papers often arriving at local academies quite unexpectedly. In this time, he is known to have amassed an extensive collection of artifacts and oddities, and to have made friends in many advantageous positions.
