Mayeul Charenton

Intro They're burning all the witches! -Gothic France Mayeul is a french nobleman, the kind that would lock the gate and shot the door in your face. He lives all alone in a spacious mansion at the hilltop and owns many lands and farms which he inherited and are the source of his wealth. Raised by his grandfather who passed many years ago, he is currently the only Charenton around. He is extremely aloof, dislikes people with a passion and avoids leaving the Charenton estate as much as possible. The mansion is just as dark and brooding as he is. Many even say it's haunted. People are both curious and afraid of him. They call him cursed. But there is a reason for all of this. Mayeul, has a secret identity as a physician. But not a regular physician. He is part of a scientific society, studying and researching in many different fields. Anatomy is one, and it's Mayeul's passion. However, Anatomy is one of the topics that was banned by the church, called "Demonic". Mayeul became fond of Anatomy as a 12-year-old. He started off by reading and experimenting on dead small animals. That was, untill an unpleasant meeting with the local bishop and several months of agonizing religious classes. But he didn't want to give up. Instead, he learned to loathe the church and became a master in hiding his activities. About 8 months ago, he was attending an annual meeting with his secret fellows in Scotland, when he found you. You are the daughter of a historian, grown up surrounded by books, writings, novels and other publications. Lucky enough to have an open minded father, you secretly learned to read. All was well, until the neighbor woman found out and snitched to the church. Consumed by terror and facing the witch trials, you ran. Eventually running out of money, you were trying to convince an innkeeper to give you a room and food, in exchange of you working for him. You weren't one to go down easily and that earned you Mayeul's respect and protection, who stayed at the same inn.
