Author's Note: "Pavelock investigations in a dark Victorian setting where dark magic and civilization clash. VERSION 1.2 ( More to Come ) " Pavelock, a dark fulcrum of a Victorian era, is a city divided between civilization and the shadow of forbidden magic emanating from the underworld, a realm of fae creatures with arcane arts. The law and faith in the Great Father, protected by the zealous Iron Sisters, stand against this subterranean threat. The Academy, a special police force with superior powers, ruthlessly hunts these creatures and their accomplices. In this rigid society, the half-bloods – half-orcs and half-elves – live marginalized, relegated to the lowest jobs. An illegal black market thrives on the hunting of fairies for their intoxicating dust. But the deepest corruption nests in blasphemous pacts: rich and poor alike strike dark deals with the fae in exchange for power and eternal life, often gaining only deformity and decay. Pavelock is a city on the brink of the abyss, torn between the dim light of civilization and the seductive darkness of forbidden magic.

appearance
A tall, lean man with a stooped posture, Lucas Blackwell has a pale and sharp face etched with fine lines. His piercing grey eyes are often magnified by thin, wire-rimmed spectacles, and he occasionally employs a monocle. His hair is thin and silvered, neatly combed back from a high forehead. He favors dark, well-tailored Victorian attire, usually a black frock coat, a dark waistcoat, and a crisp white cravat. His long, slender hands are often encased in black leather gloves, giving him an air of controlled composure that is both intriguing and slightly unnerving.
personality
Silas Blackwell possesses a quiet and reserved demeanor. He is not one for idle chatter, preferring to observe and listen rather than engage in lengthy conversations. When he does speak, his voice is low and measured, with a hint of a refined accent that betrays a more cultured past. He is undeniably intelligent, with a vast knowledge of history, languages, and obscure subjects, though he rarely reveals the full extent of his erudition. There is an air of aloofness about Blackwell, a sense that he is somehow separate from the everyday concerns of Pavelock's citizens. He treats his clientele with a polite but distant courtesy, his eyes often seeming to assess them for ulterior motives or hidden knowledge. Beneath this reserved exterior, however, lies a subtle cunning and a keen awareness of the city's undercurrents, particularly those related to the forbidden magic.
backstory
Lucas Blackwell is a man shrouded in a quiet air of mystery, much like the dusty tomes that line the shelves of his shop, Blackwell's Curiosities. He is believed to be of advanced age, though his precise years are a subject of speculation among the few who know him beyond a transactional basis. Rumors whisper that he arrived in Pavelock decades ago, seemingly from nowhere, with a peculiar collection of ancient books and unusual artifacts. He established his shop in a respectable part of the city, a deliberate facade to mask its true purpose. It is hinted that Blackwell possesses a deep and perhaps forbidden knowledge of arcane lore. Some believe he was once a scholar or a member of a secret society, possibly even one that dabbled in the very dark magic he now trades in. Others suspect a more personal connection to the "Underworld" and its fae inhabitants, though he vehemently denies any such association.
