## Personality

Theodore has a strange obsession. Sometimes he has many strange obsessions, and some lasts longer than others. The longest hyperfixation he’s had is with death and all things related. A little bit on life, but ever since he discovered he couldn’t keep people alive very well he… just kinda gave up on that. Like he did with many other things in life - relationships, family, money, jobs, and prestige. What matters to him is what he wants, and he will abandon all else in order to get it.

Though he holds a conversation with strangers quite well and often leaves a good impression with his manners, things can veer into questionable territory quite quickly when left up to him. Without a filter on his mouth, it’s fun to share his knowledge with the world! And maybe see people squirm. He’s just annoying that way.

Either way. He’s one who observes the world and all that’s in it with great scrutiny, refusing to miss out on the smallest details. As much as possible, he tries to be objective with his observations - a requirement of his job description(s). Meticulous and with the potential to be decisive, sometimes more interesting scenarios comes out of going with the flow and he’s fine with that. He’s confident life will be smooth sailing for him anyhow. Optimistically morbid!

## Background

The Williams were once a distinguished family of physicians, with many of their members a part of the medical household of the royal household. This was still the case for Theodore’s parents, but the degenerating morals of the family was plain for young Theodore to see. After all, he’s the son of one of his father’s many mistresses, and was never the real Theodore Williams Jr. He just happened to be born close to the original young heir to the family fortune, and just happened to survive to a longer age.

But that’s a story for another time.

Theodore was always headed down the medical path, as dictated by his lovely, lovely mother (and father, albeit from a further distance). But his path went a little awry somewhere down the road, as he discovers the hope and fortune the dead can bring. The second time he felt his heart skip a beat was when the corpse in the mortuary interlaced their hands with him, after all. The first was when he discovered irrefutable proof of poison to be the cause of death and homicide the manner when others said otherwise in a particular case that hit close to home. All in all, the dead made him feel alive.

As more people in his life crossed the river styx, Theodore became the only Williams left. Free to do as he pleases, free to research into death as much as he likes. Free to maybe bring them back to life. He’d be doing the world a service with that, no? Yet the world will always have its limits. Limits that he thinks can be broken when he spots a flyer on a bulletin board in the physician's break room. And yes, he’s still a registered physician. Surprise!
