Quick Biography:

A baby-boomer, Paul was born in Boston to a relatively wealthy family. A student of history, he works on his dissertation on Dutch merchants under the supervision of Bartholomew Rossi, when an intriguing book, blank but bearing a dragon on the cover, appears on his carrel at the university library. He shares this information with his mentor, who gives him a copy of a similar book, along with lengthy notes and research on the matter of Vlad Dracula, and more particularly, the search for his tomb. Shortly after, Rossi disappears, and Paul makes the acquaintance of his daughter.

From Istanbul, to Budapest, their search for Rossi and Dracula leads them to Sophia, and later to a secluded monastery. Throughout, Paul falls hopelessly in love with Helen and proposes. She accepts, but a few days later, in a traumatic confrontation, the couple is forced to put an end to Rossi's life before he is fully turned by Dracula. This is immediately followed by interference form the Bulgarian and Hungarian secret services, and the pair is expulsed from Bulgaria swiftly.

During their travel back to Istanbul, Paul falls asleep, and wakes up at the Mansion.

Appearance: Tall, lanky, with auburn hair and grey eyes. Paul is a complete academic and looks it. His appearance, is usually vaguely mussed, even if he tries to look as impeccable as the 1950's require it. He usually wears suits, and they are usually rumpled from extensive travel.

Personality: Paul is an interesting combination of awkward, proper and highly emotional. He is also doggedly loyal to those he loves, and willing to take great risks for their sakes. His memory is excellent, despite his own opinion that it is not, and his dedication to his academic work is outstanding. He also has a very strong ability to record events, with photographic and auditive memories that record them in close detail.

DF Canon: Paul's arrival at the Mansion was an eventful one. After relatively sane interactions with Gen Watanabe, Mercedes Thompson and Sandor Clegane, he got abducted by Henry Fitzroy. Henry informed him of Helen's vampification, which threw him into wells of grief. More to come.
