The Detective

"Rest assured, as long as I am on the case, the truth will be uncovered."
The Detective is an as of now unseen character within Re Obscura, though his work is consistently talked about throughout the cosmos. Working closely with the Cosmicam Magistratus, he has helped them solve a wide range of cases throughout the galaxy, leading to the very publicised arrests of multiple key criminal figures.
==Personality==
Though not seen throughout the campaign, several NPCs describe The Detective as a pleasant individual, one who was well-mannered and more than happy to start a conversation. From what is known, he takes every case he is presented incredibly seriously, maintaining and upholding a strong sense of justice and determination in solving all manners of crimes.
Some, particularly within Re Obscura's criminal underbelly (such as the ever notorious Hangar 14), speculate that the Detective is a fraudster who merely puts on a friendly persona in order to win the trust of the public to further his own selfish agenda. As the protagonist never truly meets the Detective, however, this cannot be confirmed.
== Backstory ==
Due to his enigmatic nature, not much is known about the backstory of the Detective. All that is known is that he had spent a large chunk of his youth studying and practicing to ensure that he would excel in his chosen career path. He was able to solve a case within merely 20 minutes of being presented the evidence, leading to the arrest of a high-profile Breath dealer and propelling himself to stardom.
