Nelson Helmsbry

Nelson was a kind elderly man and founder of The Helmsbry Electric Company. As well as a technical genius he was a savvy businessman who was also very charitable. All this came to an end after his suicide on 20th of Crownward, 20.88.
== Physical Description ==
Nelson was a relatively short man stocky man, known for wearing a fashionable black cotton lab coat almost everywhere he went. He had blonde Mutton Chops leading to a receding hairline while his face was adorned with silver spectacles. 
Nelson loathed what he’d call “Tacky” accessories and as such rarely wore gold or silks, instead preferring to wear and dress what he’d expect his workers to wear.
== Background ==
Nelson was born in 20.13 and got to watch the world grow into the industrial complex it is today, his mother had him when she was fairly young and as such they never had much money growing up. 
Nelson found he had a knack for taking other people's ideas and introducing his own twist on them. His family relocated to Varawyn where he got a job in a construction plant, he’d steal scrap electronics and make his own contraptions at home.
Despite his enthusiasm he was rarely given a chance to shine due to not being born in Varawyn.
Eventually one night he invented the super conductor cable, a cheap construction that could transfer large amounts of electricity along it.
This eventually led to him playing a key role in the dawning of the electric age of Erredan, bringing power lines and relays along the streets that are still in use 50 years later. 
Nelson fathered 3 children: Martin, Peggie and Nathan who he continued to care for into his later years along with housing his mother in a comfortable home with round the clock care.
After his children had grown up Nelson still felt he had more to give, he took a step back as chairman of Helmsbry Electric leaving a board of directors in control of the company.
Nelson began re-routing his fortune back into the city in small ways ranging from getting a district clean drinking water to providing cultural parties for the poorer districts filled with immigrants.
Aswell as this he’d offer work to who most would consider unemployable, using translators to train factory workers that couldn’t speak Tyrranian, even taking on a couple as household staff.
Nelson grew ill and weary in his old age and was diagnosed with a blood infection, as such he hired Moana of Fef to be his personal doctor. 
== Death ==
On the night of his 75th birthday Nelson retired to his bedroom at 11pm to receive his treatments, however Moana believes she messed up the amounts and breaks down in tears fearing she just killed her boss.
Worried for Moana Nelson hatches a plan to help her cover up this accident and decides to take his own life to spare her. 
It would later be revealed by Haytham’s Investigations in Case 1: The Solved Case that Nelson was in fact not poisoned, however an attempt on his life was made by his grandson Patrick.
