History
Watcher Assignment: Area Supervisor, Paris/Genna Jorgensen Watcher Academy: Europe Dates at Academy: 1979 Discovered Immortals/Recruited: Recruited by Anne Springhorn. He saw a Quickening after a fight Anne was watching. He was fascinated and not easily swayed. She was impressed. Non-Watcher Background: Life Philosophy: Learn it, live it, record it. Friends/Allies: Yep. Foes/Enemies: Hunters piss him off, a lot. Brief History:
He had two parents who are both dead now, went to school and absolutely excelled at science and mathmatics, didn't do half bad with computers and technology. He was into history and philosophy and was an all around well rounded academic. He went to the acadamy, trained as a medic, and graduated in '79.
He spent a year as a historian before he got his first assignment. He was in the field for just over 10 years before he was made Area Supervisor for Paris. He's still got a field assignment (or did, until the mess, better known as The Gathering, blew up on his doorstep. He's got a cover as "Max" , as in Max's deli, and generally tends to do his job. When he's not doing his job, well-
It's not any of anybody's business, and ironically enough since the man's spent the greater part of his life prying into other people's lives, he doesn't much like it when people do it to him. And, since he's good at him job, he notices when people try. He's pretty good at deflecting, but he's not the warm and sharing sort, at least not with *real* information, or himself. He can do a pretty good imitation, though.
He's also a play by the rules kind of guy. You don't approach your immortals, you don't break the rules, you don't interfere and you sure as hell don't fraternize with the guys who live forever, carry large sharp objects, and wouldn't much like being spied on (Not that he blames them...) Lose twice as many points *if they know about Watchers*, three times as many if they have had an encounter with the Hunters. He yells good.
