## Profile

Sebastian "Bast" Klein is a newly-transferred Detective at EPD Eligos presently unaffiliated with any specific division. He operates alongside Sho Nakamura as his Handler and partner. The two handle cases assigned directly by Chief Gianna Vitucci but are available for consult on other cases given the proper permissions. Typically Klein and Nakamura receive cold cases or those which have hit a dead end, as such cases are the specialty of both parties. Klein transferred to EPD Eligos at the end of September 3861 under the recommendation of the recently deceased Moxie Wright, whom he served alongside at EPD Ipes previously.

Klein studied at the Akademiya for several years, where he earned a degree in Criminology with a specialization in Forensics and Criminal Psychology. Incidentally, he participated in and graduated from the same program as Wright in the same year: consequently, the two were both classmates and colleagues at EPD Ipes. According to Klein, the friends' history together actually reaches back to childhood, for they grew up in the same neighborhood and played together as kids.

Like his late friend, Klein is quiet and easy-going, preferring to observe than to instigate. He is sharp, perceptive, and discerning, and while he does not particularly get into heated conversations can be quick-witted and powerfully disabling in his comebacks. Klein is a confident and capable individual who trusts his skills and insight; while he doesn't like to rock the boat, he also doesn't tolerate being pushed around and will take measures to talk down the offending party. One of Klein's most outstanding skills and that which earned him his position is his ability to remain calm and mediate, negotiate, and de-escalate without the use of force; this makes him a good opposition to Nakamura, who relies on wit and quick criticisms that do not affect Klein.

Klein is a well-trained combatant capable of physical and magical means. His personal style utilizes a combination of both. His magical specialty is Chronurgy, the manipulation of time and--to an extent--luck, though he can cast spells of other schools. Because this class of magic is so demanding to cast, Klein's Chronurgy is assisted by his magical weapon, a pocket watch known as the Eye of Chronos. His innate magic in conjunction with this weapon gives him a few seconds of precognition. Outside of Chronurgy, Klein utilizes quick martial magics focusing on high damage output and strong defenses.

His short tenure has afforded little in the way of peer feedback, but his associates at EPD Ipes spoke positively of him. Klein's transfer encountered no difficulties and Eligos management has high expectations for his performance in all areas. According to Klein, his hobbies include skateboarding and kickboxing.

## Responsibilities

Klein is the newly-appointed Handler and partner to Sho Nakamura, the Truth Fiend. Accordingly, he is responsible for managing him and his actions. Klein is further tasked with resolving cases assigned to him and his partner, as well as consulting on other teams' cases and interrogations as permitted.

While Klein is a fully trained combat unit with DHD experience, he is not intended to engage in combat unless it is a means of defense for himself or his partner. He is also expected to use force against Nakamura should the need arise.

## History & Tenure

Klein graduated from the Akademiya at 21 years of age (3851) with a degree in Criminology and specialties in Forensic Science and Criminal Psychology. Following his graduation he was hired into EPD Ipes as a standard uniform unit. Though he wished to pursue a career as a Detective, his possession of the Mage Gene drove him toward a DHD: he joined EPD DHD-2 under Captain Osin in his second year of employment. He served on this team for four more years before tenure and a good investigate record permitted him to apprentice under Detective West.

An assault on Detectives West and Klein six months later resulted in the injury and early retirement of Poirot, who luckily escaped with her life due to Klein's combat experience. Klein was then transferred to the apprenticeship of Detective Poirot under the condition that he additionally served as the Handler for the Water Devil. This three-person team served EPD Ipes well for the following four years, and disbanded only recently upon the transfer of Klein.

Klein's recommendation for his transfer and new position originated by the recommendation by Moxie Wright, who used one of her last communications to personally request that he replace her as Nakamura's partner and Handler. Given this last wish of a dedicated and reliable agent, all parties obliged and arranged for Klein--who accepted the offer without hesitation--to assume this position.
