Abstract: An English detective working an administrative position in British North America during the height of the Industrial Revolution.

Detail: Tired, worn, and a healthy love for tobacco sums up Senior Constable Felix's present status. At 34 years of age he has had a perfectly normal career climbing the ranks of the Royal Colonial Law Enforcers. The last four of which he has spent as the senior document overseer. The official name for the gentleman who checks grammar and detail on important documents before it reaches the eyes of the state comissioner. 

Ever since colonies had lost the civil war and Britannia brought them back into the fold of its empire, incidents and crimes have remained high. With high numbers of incidents comes high numbers of paperwork, which is where Felix comes in.  

The job is stable but stale and boring. Felix seldomly longs for the days he spent patrolling the streets and investigating crime scenes. The days where he lived "serving the queen's justice upon the rebellious folk of the colonies." However, English tradition requires a man of his experience to fill a suitable position relative to said experience. Thus, Felix was transferred from the physically intensive job of investigative work to the mentally tedious job of being the senior document overseer.

Now he lives for the hours of leisure afforded to him when he can enjoy a good book, a cigar made of fresh Virginian tobacco, or a good game of croquet. He looks forward to the day that his commission in the colonies expires. A day on which he intends to sail for London, find an agreeable woman of good wealth to marry, and settle down in a countryside manor spending the rest of his life among friends and family. 

A day that may never come since his eyes caught the strange compass and the gem among old confiscated goods.
