The Kepler Family

# Origins - Johannes Kepler (27 December 1571 – 15 November 1630)

**Johannes Kepler** was a German astronomer, mathematician, astrologer, natural philosopher and writer on music. He is a key figure in the 17th-century Scientific Revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, and his books *Astronomia nova*, *Harmonice Mundi*, and *Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae*, influencing among others Isaac Newton, providing one of the foundations for his theory of universal gravitation. The variety and impact of his work made Kepler one of the founders and fathers of modern astronomy, the scientific method and natural science. In June of 1595, Johannes had an affair with one Susanna Aleksovich. This fractured lineage would lead on into the modern world. At some point, Johannes was contacted by a small group of individuals who had unknown intentions. Johannes would leave his son, Petrov, a small golden pin shaped like a triangle.

# The Bastard - Petrov Hughes Kepler (January 8th 1596 - May 5 1664)

**Petrov Kepler** was born a bastard child in Germany. Raised by his mother and Adoptive Father, Petrov (Later called Petyr/Peter) would grow up around other impoverished families. Nothing to his name besides a small pin, Petrov would stake his claim in Gold mines to the west. Fame and fortune also brought terror and assassins. Paranoia clouded the young man's mind and he moved his family to the town of York in Great Britain. There he would father a Daughter named Bianca S. Kepler. He would later die from hanging, leaving his one and only heirloom to his daughter. The golden pin.

# The Renegade - Bianca S. Kepler (March 3rd 1640 - July 3rd 1700)

**Bianca Kepler** was raised in York. Her mother took care of her while her father suffered from his manic paranoia. Not one for injustice, Bianca would always attempt to stand up for those who've been wronged. Going so far as to dress like a man and commit acts of murder to avenge the downtrodden. Records are spotty but corporate data suggests she was responsible for one of the massacres blamed on Jack the Ripper. It is believed that she married Timothy (Last Name Unknown) and was one of the few women to resist changing her maiden name. She bore two sons, Isaac and Lewis Kepler. Upon her deathbed, she was quoted as giving the Family pendant to her children.

# The Twins - Isaac & Lewis Kepler (May 16th 1670 - December 1746)

**Isaac and Lewis Kepler** were raised in York by their Mother and Father. Adventurous young lads, these two were part of the original 13 colonies after signing on with a trade organization (A company later absorbed by the early Corporation). Arriving in Boston, these brothers were keen on exploring and conquering the wilderness. Settling along the oceanside, they only lived a few miles from each other. Due to the spread of an untreatable smallpox, Lewis passed away early into their settler's dream. Isaac and his wife decided to carry on the family legacy and bore a son, Reginal Bartholomew Kepler. Isaac would later fall ill to Dysentery and passed in his sleep. The golden pin continued to be passed to the next holder.

# The Trader - Reginald B. Kepler (Sept 1st 1712 - May 6th 1765)

**Reginal B. Kepler** was born into wealth and success. His dreams of establishing a wealthy family name and estate were easy thanks to stipends from a relative overseas. Opening his own store, "Taverns n' Sheets", Reginald's dream became reality. Banking on the beginnings of a war, Kepler's stocks flew off the shelves and coin filled his pocket. Investments into the market around him turned his store into an empire. Alas, his son grew to despise him as he abused the King's Tax system. He would later be shot dead at a Tavern, how ironic.

# The Soldier - Ulysses T. Kepler (??? ??? ??? - June 15th 1779)

**Ulysses T. Kepler** was [ DATA EXPUNGED ] and served in the first Continental Army. Fighting at the battles of [ DATA EXPUNGED ] and [ DATA EXPUNGED ] His Daughter was his only surviving family member.

# The Maid - Maria Lee Kepler (May 17th 1774 - December 25th 1842)

**Maria L. Kepler** was a simple maid for a rich business tycoon. She never stuck her nose into any business or interfered with anything above her station. At least thats what the official reports say. Character witnesses at her trial say she was a calm and sweet beauty, but intel gathered suggests her real personality was that of a thief. How else did a simple maid afford extravagant living arrangements? She left behind her son, Dr. Johan Isaiah Kepler.

# The Doctor - Johan Kepler (August 1st 1834 - July 8th 1904)

**Dr. Johan Kepler** grew up fascinated by sciences untold. He dreamed of medicine and helping people. Alas, he was also a bit of an airhead. Medical mistakes cost too much... but the Civil war changed ALL OF THAT. During this time of strife, two men approached Dr. Kepler with an offer he couldn't refuse. Become a private medical doctor for a shipping and delivery company (The Start of the Corporation). It only helped his chances when their director saw the golden pin he wore. The symbol the group used behind hidden doors. Johan left behind his Son, Eric LeMat Kepler.

# The War Hero - Eric Kepler (??? 1886 - July 3rd 1935)

**Eric Kepler** was raised by Johan as a corporate employee. He was trained as all operators would be and developed a skill for his missions. He would be deployed to fight in The Great War in Europe. Fighting against the enemy on the English side, Eric was noted as a highly capable killing machine. Eventually his mission hit a snag when his left arm was forced to be amputated. Returning home, Eric would father Dr. Ryan Kepler in Los Angeles, California.

# The Corporate Rat - Ryan Kepler (June 25th 1933 - March 4th 1963)

Ryan Jameson Kepler was born June 25th 1933 in Los Angeles, California. His mother and Father both passed when he was seventeen. After that, he would enlist in the United States Army and participate in the Korean war before he was injured. Forced to return home, Kepler decided to go into medicine as a profession. He was a well known Geneticist and Immunologist. After graduating from Harvard Medical School, Kepler was recruited into the Corporation's Research and Development department as a low level medical assistant. After years of work, Kepler was raised to the rank of B2 and was a Chief of Research in charge of a new highly experimental program. He would die in pursuit of knowledge. He left behind a daughter, Hannah Kepler.
